    hi, im trading in my laptop with the crappy SiS 3+ graphics card and getting one with a Radeon R420, which is anything from (X700 - X850) and its the graphics card 1 better than you need for halo 2, (thats X700), i'd only be playing, san andreas and sims 2, so would it be good enough to run them??

    I couldn't find the card you specified in this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=70254

    Are you sure you specified the card correctly? If so it's still classified as low end although you should be able to play the games listed with the settings toned down and the resolution lowered.
