    Ignore those sites. Post the specs here and we'll tell you what games it can run :)

    ATI GPU is very non-descriptive. Give up a specific laptop model or more detailed specs.

    Call of Duty 4 will run very well, medium - high settings at 60+ FPS.
    Crysis is IMO a bad benchmark since it doesn't run great on anything.
    But Crysis should play on medium settings in DX9 at a decent framerate as well.

    With that setup and the right drivers you should be looking at DX10 crysis all medium at 1280 x 800 with 30+.

    Crysis runs great on my 8400m GT Hep! :p(even better overclocked ;))
