    easily mid-high. it's a decent gaming laptop, but its cpu is a bottleneck.

    Processor is pretty low, I'd say mid-high.

    Yes. Anything 2.2 duo or above is good.

    Processor may be a bit of a bottleneck but I still think he can run it on high with the 8700M GT.

    let me check really quick what it defaults to...i have esentially the same damn laptop.

    EDIT: It defaults to mid with 4x anti aliasing at 1024 x 768, but you could probably set it to high for everything except AA and AF. i kept it on mid but turned off AA (dont much care about smoother looking pixels) and i was averaging 60fps with no overclock on my GPU with the resolution at 1440 x 900

    Yes, but performance in games is directly linked to the processor as much as it is the video card. Strange combo, a 1.66Gghz Core 2 and 8700m...
