What games do you play on your E1505?

Hello,

I'm almost sure to get a E1505, due it's nice pricing. I plan to buy a E1505 with T2050 proc, 1GB ram, X1400 and 9cell battery. Just one thing, what games can I expect to run with the X1400? I know it's not the best card out there (rather mainstream)...

What games do you play with your E1505? I'd love to run Wolfenstein: ET in a 24+ slots server with the map Radar (hardware)lag-free...

How long will I be able to game with the 9cell battery?

Thanks!

I play Counter Strike: Source Almost Everyday.
I rarely experience any lag to be of annoyance, It runs very smoothly.
I bought my E1505 a couple of weeks ago and I was a bit worried as well about playing games seeing as how it was so cheap, but I am definitly happy with my purchase.

also, get the truelife free upgrade screen. It makes it glossy and looks AWESOME!

ANd sorry but I cant help you with the battery time, I have a 6cell and if i play games I usually keep it plugged in.

I play tomb raider legend, everything cranked up full. fullscreen effects and all the bells. Well, except anti aliasing and the Next gen effects. But there are some desktop systems out there with GeForce 7900 that wont run Next gen!!
Only thing to look out for when playing games on battery is to change the settings to max performance in the powerplay settings. Otherwise it will play really badly!!
I played TRL like that once, on a 6 cell battery mind with the specs below, and i think it lasted just over an hour. Not really sure! Al i know is i was killin like crazy and it powered down!

I've played AA, CS 1.6, CS:CZ, CZ Deleted Scenes, CS:S (which was totally screwed up when I first tried to play it...it's fine now), BF2, BF2142 Beta, Star Wars Battlefront 2, CoD 2, HL, HL2, Natural Selection, and Quicken...wait, that's not a game?

They all run fine. BF2 is just buggy like it always is, as was BF2142 Beta, but the others ran fine.

I mostly play Need for Speed:Most wanted, Flatout 2, WoW, and all the Battlefield games. I have tried many demos on it including Serious Sam 2, TR:L, Call of Juarez, Eternal Forces: Left Behind beta, and never really had any problems. I always try to run at native res and then turn down the graphics to get to an acceptable frame rate.
