    hi everyone ,
    i just order a labtop today to play the latest pc games ,I need to know if an ATI radeon mobility x600 (128mb) video card will work well on a note book with a pentium M 2Ghz proccesor 1 gig of ddr2 Ram and a ultrasharp widescreen WSXGA+ LCD panel? Does any one have any opinion as to weather or not this will be a good enough config. for decent gaming and pretty good graphics .

    i paid $2100 bucks for it and i hope it will be worth it a least .

    if anyone can shed some light ,please go right ahead .

    If you got it strictly for gaming whaqt did you get for $2100 you could have gotten an XPS gen2 for that price and had the very best gaming notebook out with the coupons dell puts out it would be under $2000.

    The d810 will be a pretty good gaming machine though. Plus, its a lot more portable than the 17" notebooks. You could also look at the Asus z71v, which is very similar to the d810 but instead with the nvidia 6600 (twice as fast as the x600)
