    I would like to test my M1530 with some games. Apart from COD4 / TF2.

    What random games do you recommend? I'm usually a FPS person, but I wouldn't mind trying some differente games (for example, I love(d) Dungeon Keeper 2 :) )

    I don't think Crysis will run smoothly in my laptop... (M1530, 8600m GT)

    I haven't tried Supreme Commander. I will try to download a demo :) (why is it better than AOE3?? I played AOE1/2 a lot when I was a kid, but never got to try AOE3, is really that bad?)

    JinRoh do some searches, Crysis will run "decent" on your system. But you will need to overclock your video card.

    The 8600M GT , especially the DDR3 version should have NO problems with crysis at med settings.
    And please do look at my list, it should cover all games around ...

    BF2 is older but it is still a lot of fun.

    I bought BF2142 + NS a while ago and I don't really like it (I mean, it's not a bad game, but I prefer to play COD4/TF2 instead of it. The same applies to ETQW)
