Yo, no way dat laptop play doz modern gamez!

Seriously, though, I have an Acer Aspire 5520-5912 that specs similar to yours with the same IGP (GeForce 7000M + nForce 610M). It can barely run Enemy Territory : Quake Wars (running the Quake 4 engine) at 22 fps at 800x600 resolution and that's on 64 bit Linux; expect far worse performance if you keep the 32 bit vista it came with. On the other hand, games using older engines such as Urban Terror 4.1, which runs on the Quake 3 engine, works quite well, and *FAR* better under 64 bit Linux than 32 bit vista. I don't know if 64 vs 32 bits makes much difference yet (haven't run 32 bit UrT yet to test), but everyone knows vista is worse than a dog, a slug. Add an IGP to that and you're asking for trouble with any game engine made in the last 2-3 years.

I have an Acer 5520-5912 (same specs as person above me.) With some serious overclocking (CPU from 1.9GHz to 2.3Ghz and GPU from 350/425 to 650/750) I am running Gears of War on 800*600 with low-med detail and COD 4 at 1024*768 with med to high detail) with about 12-15 FPS!

That's great, but 12-15 FPS isn't exactly playable in a first-person shooter. With Urban Terror 4.1 I'm getting anywhere from 45-85 FPS depending on what's on the screen: foliage and particle effects slow it way down. You say you got the thing overclocked: how did you do it? More importantly, doubling the clock speed on the IGP is rather dangerous, don't you think? Especially with the cheesy passive cooling Asus put in there leading back to the CPU! While it seems like it might work, I'm really scared of frying it as it already gets very warm during gaming. (If you haven't opened it, the IGP is located at the warm spot between the NW corner of the touchpad and the winblows key. It uses a small heat pipe to run heat back to the CPU.) Mike
