    I'm pretty amazed my laptop can handle Crysis on low settings even though I have a GeFroce Go 6150.Does anyone else have a dv2000? You should try Crysis on it and see how that works.

    I think ive been spoilt....i dont think i could play a game at that res anymore......once i used to enjoy the gameplay more than the graphics...but i think ive become a very shallow person.....graphics and res are as important to me as gameplay.........:-(

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I still sometimes like to play games at 960x600 as opposed to native 1920x1200 because I grew up with that resolution and I play slightly better with it in FPS.

    Anything a lot lower than 1680 X 1050 is no good for me. I have been completely spoilt by my NP8662 because every single game I play at that resolution.

    I would rather lower graphical settings than the resolution.

    I can play at 1280x800, but it runs better at that resolution.

    By the way, my laptop isn't for gaming so I was surprised it could even run it. Also, how good are the Clevo laptops- I was thinking about getting one. Where did you get yours? Is it better than Alienware laptops-overall?

    Clevo is one of the best and longest running notebook companies out there. They make Alienwares. Look at resellers such as sager, and reresellers, like xoticpc.

    Quality is more important to me than resolution. If the game looks like something straight from a film, I can handle lower resolution in exchange for increased graphical qualities.

    ha, I'm playing Interstate '76 at 640x480 currently and loving it! Guess I'm old, as the jump from 320x240 was huge for me back on my 386, and never thought it'd get better than 640x480!

    Times have changed ha! For some reason, I get more satisfaction running games on machines that shouldn't, and making them work, guess I'll always be as much or more into tinkering or tweaking as actually playing.

    Crysis is totally playable on my Tablet, so glad to see it's working for ya on the 6150, had fairly good luck with that in my last Tablet... Was always suprised how well HL2 ran on it.
