and what temp is to high for the S? Mine idles at around 49-51 and when its really worked it goes as high as 56C.

Your temperatures are fine on it. You can't expect a laptop to last in playing games for 4yrs, especially not a 1300$ one.
DirectX 10 is just around the corner, with revolutionizing new graphics and more power hungry games than ever. People with 7900GTX and such as worrying they won't be able to play the new games. If you've seen any pics you'll know why. So I think you're having an unrealistic expectation. Especially since the technology of the X1600 is already nearly 2yrs old.
I've had my 6800GT in my desktop for about 20 months now, and it still beats the best gaming card for a laptop under 15.4". Which means laptop technology is still far behind desktops. I think 3yrs is the best you can expect out of a gaming card for a desktop. And hopefully about 2years from a laptop to play on Medium or acceptable quality settings.
