    You might be able to squeak out medium settings on HL2, of course you will half to turn off antialiasing and all those good features.

    I've heard of people playing Doom 3 and Farcry on that laptop. I would overclock the GPU with ATI Tool if I were you.

    OK, thats good, becuase if i couldn't play those games such as farcry and half life 2 very well, i was gunna say "ok, screw a laptop" and get a high preformance gaming pc.
