    Hi guys,

    I was looking at the t61 and see it has the quadro nvs 135m option.
    Has anyone recieved the laptop and tried some actual gaming? Which games are able to run on the chip?

    I cannot find any information on this anwhere :confused:

    Thanks!

    If it can't run SC, somethings very wrong. I hope it runs aoe3 though. My desktop barely runs it though LOL.

    Can the X3100 run Counter-Strike Source fine?

    Because I've tried playing CS on mine, and I get terrible framerates... around 20-30 on the 800x600 res

    EA sports usually don't make their games graphic intensive, so that should be a good sign.
    I'm also looking to play madden on the quadro
