    I'm currently choosing between the dv2000z and v3000z, and I was wondering if the nvidia 6150 card that comes with those models will be able to play Battlefield 1942, Warcraft 3, and CS:S? Also, what other newer, more intensive games will it be able to play?

    The 6150 can play all those games. However, don't expect to play at the greatest graphics and with the best frame rates either on BF1942 and CS:S.

    War3 will play like a charm on medium settings.

    (This is based on my experience with the ATI 200M, which the 6150 performs a little better)

    If possible, try to get a dedicated graphics card. The Go 7200 for the dv2000t and v3000t should be out sometime soon now as well.

    I am trying to wait for the Go 7200 versions, but I must have a notebook by August 20th.

    I'm not overly familar with the 6150, but if its better then the X200 as adam said, then it'll run BF1942 on full no problems - I ran it on 1024x768 with options on on my x200, ran without a hitch.

    Dunno how it'd fare on CS:S but that game is really hardware efficent, ran on my x200 on 800x600 with options on medium - looked fairly nice for such a poor card.
