    how is this laptop for gaming?Is the 128mb shared good? Give me a game and tell me how good it runs? If i have enough ram does 128mb shared compare to a 128mb dedicated?

    Shared memory is severely inferior to dedicated memory, period. Even the low-end GeForce 440 Go 64MB dedicated chip in the zv5000z is far superior to what the zv5240US has (the Athlon 64 CPU is superior to the P4 too).
