    While the T43 is a great notebook, there are better choices for gaming. T43s are marketed towards business users. I would direct you to something like the Asus Z71v or Acer Ferrari. The Z71v has the NVida 6600 go card and the Ferrari has the ATI x700 card both of which are much faster than the x300 card. If you want something even faster, the Dell 9300 and Gateway m680 offer the 6800 go card, but are 17" laptops. The best notebook card right now is the 6800 Ultra. It is offered in the Dell XPS and a few botique rigs. Good Luck.
