    I'm having this laptop mailed to me soon.. and I should of researched a bit more, it's confusing to me about all this talk against graphics cards..

    I'm going to be playing Lord of the Rings, will this handle it okay to where I can see the amazing graphics just fine?

    agmar.. sorry

    yea the laptop Im on now really angered me, the guy at best buy is like "Oh yea it'll handle any graphics!" I get this game and can barely move when everything is set on the lowest setting.. Screw best buy, lol.. Though it handles World of warcraft graphics pretty nicely on medium settings, as long as i'm not raiding..

    I'm just excited, I just spend 1.4k on this laptop eeek I hope its worth it!

    The graphics card I have now on this laptop that the best buy guy was all excited about is ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series

    (I just bought this 2 months ago..)

    I realize now and it's to late to return it... DOWN WITH BEST BUY!!!

    :p
