The M6811 because gaming is based mostly on the graphics card.

You mean all settings on high for the latest game? Might not be possible but I saw the m6809 firsthand running a FarCry demo, although I'm sure the settings weren't on high.

Still looked good and played without lag, though.

As for benchmarks I'm pretty sure there are some on these boards...

I'm positive the m6811 will run Morrowind just fine (you may need to fine tune some settings) but it'll run better than what HP's offering.
