thanks so much dude - huge help, ill order one tonight... i was worried as people told me that the asus processor was so good the graphics card didnt really matter... lol glad u cleared that up for me =D tyvm mark!

yeh that would be awesome, monday is fine. I have no clue =) as additional info, the games i wanna play is oblivion and guildwars. rest of the time ill be on the internet/itunes (if that helps?) mark

I have roughly £500 to spend and I've narrowed it down to these 2... (if u guys know of something better please let me know!!! =D) Dell Studio 15 Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T4200 (2.0GHz, 800MHz, 1MB cache) 15.4" Widescreen WXGA+ WLED (1440x900) TFT Display with TrueLife™ 4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048] 160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive 256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3450 £509.00 Mesh ASUS X59GL 15.4" WXGA TFT with ColourShine (1280x800) Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5800 Dual Core Processor (2.00GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB NVIDIA GeForce 8200M 3GB DDR2 667MHz Memory (1x1GB + 1x2GB) 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (NB) £ 499.00 they are kind of similar, maybe it just comes down graphics card? an yeah I know laptops can be sucky for gaming, but its not for anything hardcore. (oblivion is probably the highest req game I have, im not after highest detail, just smooth gameplay that looks good.) finally ive heard that a better processor = better gaming laptop. then i've heard that graphics cards are what matters.... please can anyone clarify this? thanks people love you all <3
