    Hello,
    Sorry for my bad English, I hope, I'll learn it!

    I'm think to buy loptop Dell Studio XPS 16, but i'm scary, i think, couse my CPU is to low for GPU. What do you think?

    CPU P8600 3MB L2 1066
    GPU ATI 4670 DDR 1GB
    RAM 6GB DDR3
    16" 1360x768 WLED display.

    Is there any performance diference by mine resoliuton and 1900x1080? Is it right, couse if display resoliuton is lower, performance is better?

    And Will can i play NFS:Shift or UNDERCOVER? How about GTA IV?

    Thanks. :)

    EDIT:
    6GB RAM is couse i like multitasking, like minimized game, Photoshop and etc. I need it.

    Your laptop should play many games at high settings, but it will play NFS: Shift and GTA IV.

    That CPU will be fine.

    It is true that the higher resolution = decreased performance. But even if your screen is 1900x1080, you can play games at a lower resolution.
