    I just got this in my Dell Inspiron e1505 notebook. The Dell guy said it would run BF2 fine on (not on high settings). My question is how will this card handle newer games, if at all. I didn't buy the notebook to be a gaming laptop, but I'm just curious. How will it handle newer versions of EA sports games (Madden 08, FIFA 08, etc.)? Can it handle GRAW? GRAW 2? What I mean by this is smooth gameplay at low settings. Thanks.

    Edit: Oh, and I got the T7200 2GHZ Core Duo, and 2 GB or RAM, so there won't be any other bottlenecking.

    It'll be fine for Sports titles at reasonably high settings, GRAW won't be pretty, as it's a badly optimized game, BF2 does run pretty good as well, not on high but on medium-high. Stuff life Half Life 2 or anything based on the Source Engine runs excellently.

    GRAW runs at 800X600 med. Settings, AA off. i get 31 fps on average. But as Havok said, HL2 runs on my computer at HIGH RES!!! HIGH SETTINGS 112 fps. And the game looks soooo pretty, but it doesnt take power to run. Sports games, are soooo easy to run, so you wont have a problem. And i can run BF 2 at Medium - High settings, and 100% visualty. And on BF 2142 i can do Med. and 100 % visibility. Sofar i have been able to play any game ive wanted to.
