Gaming

I think you are dreaming a little if you want to play really any modern first-person-shooter on a laptop, buy a cheap PC if you want to do this. Laptops are better suited to strategy type games, puzzle games, etc. I think they are a little more battery friendly anyway. BTW, does anyone know a decent backgammon game available for the mac?

Kids, it was a question. Calm down. I have a desktop windows pc. I game on that. it was just a question, not an invite to deter me from a mac purchase.
I kind of thought this was a mac forum.

yeah i figuared for what iam doing, a ibook would be alright, but for gaming A Dell 9300 or a 6000 would be ok. But im still really impressed on how the IBook performs.

I have a PB 17 1.5/2gb and will never try to game on it.

I am contemplating the replacement of my 3.2 P4 Toshiba by a nicer Windows laptop.

Balanced between the dual 5200rpm drive Toshiba Qosmio G15 AV 501/128mb video/512 Ram and the amazing screen and DL DVD burner of the Sony Vaio VGN-A 290 in spite of only 64 Mb video and 4200 drive, both apparently scoring better benchmarks than P4/3.2 or 3.4 equiped laptops.

What would you do?

I would go with the better video card one. Cause one day your gonna come up to finding something that wont work on the other one.
