    I'm looking at two laptops, the Asus W3v and the Asus 71V. Based on size and design I prefer the W3V but it only comes with X600 w/64mb. Most of the time I wil be using it for work but when I do play games I may want to play some graphic-intensive ones, like BF2. Will this be possible with the x600? I don't need to run at the highest resoulutions just so long as it looks nice and is playable.

    The 71v has a better video card (Nvidia GeForce Go 6600 graphics card with 128 MB VRAM) but is also larger and heavier. Everything is a compromise so if I can play modern games with the W3V I'll go for that but I want to make sure that I can.

    Thanks
