    I used to play COD2 on this card at a really high framerate, medium-high settings, but I think in DX7, which I think WAW only goes down to DX9. It should run decently, but unless you've got a good enough CPU paired to it, iTunes (well, media decoding) will slow you down.

    well, it isn't MY computer :p

    actually, i diddn't know we had that xD

    a mod will merge it when he/she sees it :)


    And its a T2500 2.0 ghz... so hmmm

    interesting, i'm thinking no xD




    and i think i answered my own question, because my old m1330 (from of you xD)

    Diddn't play it well, and the 8400 and the x1600 benchmark very closely...

    Would that happen to be an Asus S96J? Because I had the same CPU/GPU in that exact laptop :p

    And yeah, it will do WAW on low-medium settings, but I wouldn't tempt fate by throwing itunes into the mix.

    Had. Had a similar laptop. When I signed up for NBR back in 2006 it was because I was selling my S96J. That laptop is long gone.
    By the way, that laptop for sale is a really good deal. 300 dollars is nothing for what you're getting there, that's a business class notebook. I am shocked it hasn't sold, I almost want to buy it... don't need it though, so I won't.

    it hasn't sold yet because it's on hold for me xD
    Any way, if he doesn't want it, ill most likely get it and just have my mother pay me back when she can or my sister or something...
    We all need new computers any way in my family (cep't my father)
    :p
