I got my 700m yesterday and to test out the video card, I popped in Quake II to see what would happen. I will admit that the graphics were not stellar. But, the game worked 100% fine. NO stalls... NO jittery scenes... everything was very smooth. And, the graphics were not crappy either. Not what I can get on my Nvidia on my desktop but considering that hardcore gaming is not the main intention for anyone who buys this laptop, it is very nice to know that you can pop in just about any game to get your kicks whenever you are on the road.

I have 1280 of RAM installed
40GB 4200rpm HD... My 60GB 7200rpm is on its way! :-)
