    I had no trouble playing MTW on a Vista machine

    Found another laptop with Home Premium 64, a Core2Duo, and an ATI HD3650 for a comparable price. I hadn't really looked at the specs on the HD3450, I had no idea it was so bad (the 64bit memory bus kills it). Anyone have experience dealing with Lenovo?

    Good to know that MTW runs on Vista, I've got some other older games that I hope play as well. With the uncertain reliability that nVidia cards face, I'm surprised that so few vendors are offering ATI graphics in their laptops. Since it's a laptop, I don't expect to run Crysis on it.

    Well, crysis actually runs fine on laptops with like a Nvidia 8800M GT/9700M GT/9800M GT. Those laptops, though, tend to be pretty costly at least

    The ATI 3650 is equivalent to the Nvidia 7800M GTX except it is compatible with DirectX 10 (I think) so its half decent for what you can get on a laptop and it is only 1 generation older than the 8800M GTX which is still a beast for any computer right now

    Anyways, what is your price range? Asus happens to have some excellent deals with their laptops and they currently have a crazy awesome free warranty on all laptops:

    2 Year Normal Warranty (Free overnight shipping to and from their repair centers)
    1 Year Accidental Damage Warranty ()

    All of this is international too so it doesn't matter where you are
