    How would these laptops be for gaming?

    I want to be able to run a fairly graphics heavy game such as HL2 or BF2 pretty well (medium/high with no probs?)

    Laptop 1:

    Compaq X6000 or HP zd8000
    Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 630 w/HT Technology, 3.0GHz
    17.0" WXGA+ BrightView Wide Viewing (1440x900)
    1.0GB DDR2 SDRAM, 533MHz (2x512MB)
    60 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
    DVD+/-RW/R & CD-RW Combo w/Double Layer Support
    256MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) X600
    $1,573.00



    Does the build (x6000 or zd8000) really matter? And how will this run the aforementioned games?

    Pardon the poor grammar in the first post. I originally had 2 laptops to compare and I had this whole thing written out and I edited it down to what you see there. Forgot to correct the grammar errors, though *slaps forehead*
