    Just curious if there were any current games I won't be able to run on at least a decent setting on my new Notebook (see below for description). This is by no means a way to "brag" or anything, I'm just a big-time gamer and curious about what I can handle. Thanks very.

    XGA ftw .. smart man .. added probally 6-12 months of life to the card not having to game @ 1920x1200 .. it's a real shame they don't make TrueLife XGA screens tho =( ... Enjoy the new system, I ordered a similar setup and I don't think anything can kill it at the moment. Maybe Ut2k7 or Quake Wars? (doubt quake wars will even do it seeing as its using doom3/quake4 engine)

    A fire will kill it, I'm quite sure of this.

    Good thing you told me, I was gonna give it a little roasting before using it. You know, just to make sure it could take it.

    The 7900 GS can render a photo realistic Chuck Norris. 'Nuff said.

    That's quite impressive. I hear he throat-kicks anyone who tries to alter pictures of him though, so beware.
