    Hi,
    I'm gonna buy a new notebook, and I wonder that 256 Geforce 9200M GS and Intel core 2 duo T5800 (2.0) suitable for games like: COD 4, Gears of war, GTA 4? My current system is Dell Vostro 1400,with a core 2 duo 1.6 T5470. It has Geforce 8400m gs and can play cod4 in med. quality. Is the laptop that I posted above is better than my curret system?

    Thanks.

    That new notebook is NOT a significant upgrade to your current one, and will only perform marginally better than what you have right now.
