Best Answer:
If you would like a high power one for the price, I would recommend the Toshiba M305D-S4829 from Circuit City this week. I haven't tested Crysis yet, but… I just purchased it on Wednesday, and am typing on it right now. It has a ton of power, like seriously. I was playing BF2142 last night with no problems. It costs $699, but It'll be running strong for a few years before anything begins to become too demanding for it. The sound quality on this laptop is phenominal. It has Harman/Kardon speakers that are Bose quality. It has 4GB of RAM, an ATI Radeon 3100 processor, which is nearly equal to most mid-range dedicated graphics processors. It support 802.11b/g/n networks. It has a standard webcam (not to mention facial recgognition software for extra secured log-ons) and all the other features you need lol. The style on this laptop is phenomenal.
If that is slightly out of your price range though, I would say go to Best Buy and pick up the HP DV5-1002NR. It costs $599, but it is nearly as good as the above laptop with only a few exceptions (it is actually better in some areas as well, lol). The touchpad on it has a glossy feel which is fine for cooler weather, but if its humid out or your fingers are the least bit sweaty, it becomes quite difficult to move the pointer. It has a slightly better video processor – the ATI Radeon 3200 (the main difference is that it has a HDMI output). It has a slightly larger screen at 15.4" WS. Its half a pound heavier, which isn't really a big deal to me at all. It also runs the 32-bit OS of Vista which will only support 3 GB of RAM, which is fine for nearly everything.I hope this helps you in your quest!

Re:I would say that games are working just fine in win2k. The only reason that I keep my 98se box is to play my older games without the NT kernel coding. Most big games are coded and optimized to work in both. If you are playing current games, I would say an upgrade to win2k is fine…

Re:Well, my experince with 2k was EXCELLENT
But i didnt try a whole bunch of different games though
I played Max Payne, quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and several others including demos
With the exception of a few demos(which can be buggy anyway) Win2k is the BEST OS i've used for gaming
I got the EXACT same frame rate in games with 2k that i did in 98se SOMETIMES FASTER
maps loaded faster on some games due to win2k's better memory compiler
Now if you are wanting to play a whole bunch of older different games that may have only been designed for 98 or lower then you should stick with that OS
Right now i'm running XP and its almost as nice as 2k but i've found a few quirks i dont like so i will probably go back
I could run windows 2k for over a week without rebooting and without losing any speed
You can also download a "compatibility mode" application from MS for win2k that u can run any program in a mode compatible for an older OS
this feature is included in XP but you can add it to windows 2000
Go with 2k, you'll be glad you did

Re:>It's good, not great. You'll have better performance using the 9x series.

I agree. Although I am using XP RC2600, I am still dual booting with Win98SE for the ultimate game performance & compatibility.
