    Im really dying to play this game, and I want to be able to play it at at least medium setting, preferably high settings. How will this laptop perform?
    Compal IFL90

    1.8GHz C2D Santa Rosa 800MHz
    1GB RAM [Upgrading to 2GB soon]
    80GB 7200RPM HDD
    nVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GT w/512MB

    Thanks :)

    no body knows, you kno why? because the game has not been released yet, and who knows if it will pwn ur computer, requirements dont mean anything in real world gaming, is bioshock really worth it if you only can play it on low-medium.

    well, I guess that's pretty good news...
    Is the IFL90's GPU XMX, or any other type of upgradeable?
