I played the demo at 1280x800 (Stretched up) and had all the settings set pretty high. I didn't have any noticable frame drops. I didn't do a FPS test on it, but it ran nice and smooth for me. I have a 64 MB 9600 in my Gateway 505x...

Don't feel bad, I don't notice a huge difference myself other than the ability to scale my resolution up in games and stuff. The sweet spot for me in games is the 1024 range, so that's the resolution I went with. I will say that the...

Just an update... I've been giving the 505x a good run down and, if anything, I'm becoming more impressed. I've got over 15 games and demos installed and tested looking for any potential problems and have only came up with a weird...

Well, I received my 505x today and I must say I am impressed. I'll give a more in depth review once I'm able to put some games on it and run with it for a bit. I'm conditioning the battery right now and just playing around with it. ...

First off, Gateway didn't jack up the price. The promotion for $100 off simply ended on the 31st of December, like it was advertised to end. They will probably have another promotion soon (if they are anthing like Dell), so just be...

I'm with you and joined the club as well. I only ordered the 505x, so you're a step up from me. Just so you know, I ordered mine on Sunday night and it was shipped Monday night, so you may not have to wait as long as they are saying. ...

Well, I went and ordered the m505X (not the XL), so that is done. It's a tough decision and I hope I didn't chose wrong, but I'm thinking it will be good. It may not be the blazing speed of the 8600, but I see more positive about the...

Last chance to talk me out of it if you've got a reason. I'm going to probable order the Gateway 505X tomorrow, unless someone can give me a reason not to. By the way, anyone know of any decent Gateway coupon codes (figured I'd ask). ...

I'm looking at it now. Seems like a pretty good deal, but I don't know about no warranty. I've been told that a laptop is one of the few places where the more warranty you get, the better. Still, that's a very tempting offer. I'm...

Bossaic, actually the Dell I would go with closest to my configuration is $1499 (the video card is a pretty big deal to me). http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs The $1299 has only the 32 MB 5200 Nvidia...
