    Yes, you should be able play anything pretty much. Go to the sager / clevo forums and browse around there for some benchmarks and performances of that laptop. All in all, I would say high everything for everygame except for maybe crysis which would require a little tweaking to get it to look how you want it while still being playable. Other than that, you can play anything else out there.

    Are you buying it new or getting it second hand? If you are purchasing it new you may want to look at the np9262s just because of the upgrades they have over the np9260, namely the 8800 gtx.

    Either way, I wouldn't worry about any current game not running well on it!

    Hi
    Why dont you go for 2 8800M GTX in the 9262 like the last dude said , if you can afford it because they will last you alot longer for the future then the 7950. The 7950 is the last DX9 card produced and it cant work with dx10. Expect games to come out soon that will only run on Dx10. The 8800M GTX is the fastest card around at the moment and quicker than the 7950 in Vista. The Nvidia 9500M might come out for summer but will only be the equivalent of a faster 8600M or so Ive heard.
    8800M in SLI will run crysis pretty well but look for updated SLI drivers for laptopvideotogo and crytek patches as there have been issues sometimes with SLI for crysis

    yeah i thought so to, i would probably benchmark over 10k with 3dmark06 and those cards. Is it safe to clock the CPU on laptops ive never done that before

    I heard that a single 8800m GTX would would beat dual 7950 GTX. Doesn't that make the dual 7950 GTX setup kind of a waste? You would probably spend less for a single 8800m GTX thant two 7950 GTX.
