    Will newer games such as Crysis, Spore, and Fallout 3, run well on an FW-290? I will be getting ith 2.26ghz, 4gig memory, and the ati hd3650 vid card.

    Agreed. The HD3650 should be capable of running them, although it isn't a powerhouse by any stretch of imagination. Spore in particular should run pretty well--it doesn't have huge requirements.

    The best GPU any of Sony's notebooks have (that I'm aware of) is a Geforce 9600GT. It's technically in the same class as that 3650, but more powerful (plus generally better drivers, etc.)

    Those are low end GPUs by today's standards (though almost high-end by notebook standards). but at any rate, a 9600GT will run any game out. Not always on high, but they'll run.
