    thats a pretty old card ... what all were you looking to run on it?
    its now pretty much just over a current IGP speed wise

    Probably, but the guy asked whether or not it is a good card for gaming, and it is not. He shouldn't get disappointed, now should he?

    Actually, the 320M beats it handily.

    You already have a thread open for the 9600m. Why don't you tell us your budget and we'll find the best laptop posible. Better yet, why don't you open a "which laptop should I buy" thread and post your needs and your budget. Much better than open 5 threads about if this video card is good for gaming.

    At least go to notebookcheck.com, and look up the video card in question. They have lots of benchmarks for ever video card.
