    Greetings
    I'm interested in buying a Toshiba Satelite P200-BW1. It has Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5450, 2Gb DDR-2 SDRAM, 250Gb HDD, 17" screen, ATI Radeon HD 2600 w/256mb, Vista Home Premium. Would this be ok for gaming? How about for Crysis or COD4? Generally is it a good notebook?

    TIA

    That has a 7 series card which doesnt support dx10, so he end up shelling out a bit more than $1500.

    Not a chance. The laptop is a very powerful except for the video card. To be able to play crysis at decent framerates you need to have the X205 SLI or better. COD4 would be fine witht he 8700 from nvidia. If I recal correctly there is a P200 that has this video card

    Hi folks,

    I'm also interested in the Toshiba P200-BW1, but just for office apps and some basic games for young kids.

    Can anyone tell me what the native screen resolution is? I cant seem to find it on the vendor's website.

    Thanks
