    I would say likely chaos theory or double agent with some settings turned down like resolution. I used to play DA with a GT 9600m and had to turn down the res if I can remember correctly. Chaos Theory should be fine though.

    Edit: just noticed you said 'latest', I wouldn't even bother trying Conviction. A highly unoptimised console port that won't fare well with your system. Not a 'true' splinter cell game anyway IMO.

    I installed Pandora Tomorrow and it works like a charm on high quality and highest resolution. Im sure Chaos Theory will work flawlessly as well on my laptop. But im afraid with Double Agent i might have to do some concession like you said and i can completely forget about Conviction until i get a new notebook.

    Anyway, im really enjoying Pandora at the moment and will continue on to Chaos once i complete it. Its like a mix between Thief and James Bond!
