    Well Hello,

    Anyone runs BF2 or Half life 2 on this kind of laptop?

    - Inspiron 6400, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7200 (4MB/2.00GHz/667MHz)
    - 15.4 Inch TrueLife Wide-screenWXGA, for Inspiron 6400/E1505
    - 2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm for Inspiron 6400/E1505
    - 256MB Ge Force 7300 Graphics card for Inspiron 6400/E1505
    - 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive for Inspiron 6400/E1505

    How good is is coming out? What about Doom 3?

    Half Life 2 will run fine on that laptop but I don't know about BF2 or Doom 3.

    Hey, FYI the X1400 is more powerful than the 7300 for gaming. If you think it's better because it is priced higher, that's wrong...check out the GPU Guide for info.

    Yes, get the x1400 rather than the 7300, is it more powerful.

    It should play HL2 on high settings and bf2 on medium settings.
