    How is the integrated graphics chip for "lite" gaming? I don't expect to play Doom3 or HL2 on it but would like to occasionally play some newer less graphics intensive games, eg. Pirates, KotOR, WoW, WC3, RoN, and anything else up and coming that are similar to these. All my buddies tell me to avoid integrated graphics like it is the plague, I'll have nothing but problems, etc. I've checked out Intel's supported games website and do see a lot on there that I would play, however, being able to run a game on a laptop and having it be playable are two different things.

    My only other choice for a laptop is the Sony s360 with the dedicated ATI 9700. Obviously, a better card for gaming but I pay for it in price... significantly when compared to the v2000.

    Thanks

    RON will work perfectly, Pirates maybe not. I can't get the latter to run on my Fujitsu P7010, but it only has a PM 1.2.
