    You would have to turn some video settings down to get a good framerate, but you can certainly play F.E.A.R. and similar high-end games on that notebook.

    no

    the 7400 is equal or a little worse than the x1400 (which i had)

    when i did a almost 20% OC, i still could only play fear at most med, some high settings, but all shadow settings low (esp soft shadow) and it only gave me average fps of 40

    high end games such as bioshock, must run at low settings or lower resolution to get smooth 25+ fps gameplay

    sup com, same as above

    depends on what you define as high end

    HL2: ep2 and portal will run superb at maxed out settings at 1280*800 and its the newest must have game coming out, but its not as graphically demanding as oblivion
