    Hi All
    I Am thinking of buying a qosmio g25 to replace my desktop, does anyone here use there qosmio for gaming? the main games i would play would be halo (halo 2 if it ever comes out on pc) and roller coaster tycoon 3 (and maybe age of empires 3).
    I was also wondering if i did plug my xbox into the qosmio, would it be TV quality?

    thanks

    Cameron

    The Qosmio will be able to handle any PC game out there with no problems.

    There will be significant lag if you plug your XBOX into the G25, making it unplayable.

    Actually the lag will depend wether the Qosmio is running under windows or under it's own shell (which can be done by powering up the TV portion without starting widows). If run under it's own shell there is almost no lag from the s-video or composite inputs. Unfortunately you can't run you xbox in HD (no component inputs on Qosmio).
    I also play tons of game son my Qosmio G15 -- mostly Guildwars now, but I've played Half Life 2 and Doom 3 on it as well. I upgraded mine to 1G of ram (worth it), and they run fine.

    I have the Qosmio. No lag, just not the best graphics quality. RCT 3 Is good on it.
