    I have the 3450 if your a gamer personally save up for a better card. TRUST ME. I got sucked into buy the dell studio 15. Its a good notebook, but the gpu isnt as powerful. I run burnout paradice at medium high. at 1280. WOW should have no problem with this card. PLays the orange box basically on high with no lag. Crysis will run on low and this is from first hand expirence. LOL gta 3 runs perfect on powersaver. GTA SA runs everything maxed. Gears of war pc runs medium. Okay good luck and post back if you have any more questions.

    Yes, the 3450 is better than the old ATI 9550. You might want to save up for a better card though. As badboy said, it's not very powerful at all. There are a few laptops out there with the Nvidia 9600m GS for less than $800
