    ha ha... I'd like to know that myself! Everyone kept saying the x1400 128Mb was "not suitable for heavy gaming," but I run Battlefield 2 at ABOVE medium settings and that's pretty **** high end game. Plays beautifully on the x1400. Although, I'm sure within a few years 128Mb won't be enough video memory.

    It depends on how high you want the detail/resolution in the games - if you don't care, you'll be just fine with the X1400. ;)

    Ochi, I am with you. I don't even see a point in spending more money.. My E1505 runs Source VERY well. It runs Source and Oblivian with no trouble at all.
