    I got one last friday, almsot the same except I got the Core 2 Duo 2.0 ghz. I think the gpu is fine, it is able to play fear on in medium settings I heard. I like how it supports hardware video (h264) acceleration. Did you add an additional AC adapter or something?

    You also might want to upgrade to 2GB of ram, that would definitely speed everything up. They will it for $116 for a pair of good Kingston ones at Zippy***mfly with three shipping. I got mine (Crucial) at $110 from newegg with their subscriber coupon.
