Ive always been a console gamer but bought a Alienware today and it should arive on August 7th.Well here are the stats of it

Video/Graphics Card:256mb NVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS Processor:AMD Turion 6 Mobile ML34 1.8Ghz 800Ghz FSB 1MB L2 Cache

Motherboard:Alienware NVIDIA Mobile Sli Chipset

Memory:2GB Dual Channel DDR SO-DIMM at 400MHz - 2 x 1024MB

Sound Card:High Def Audio With Surround Sound

By the way its Windows Vista Ultimate and id like to know if this is good enough to run Halo 2,Shadowrun,S.T.A.L.K.E.R ,and future Games for Windows games.I wont be playing that much just here and there because i still perfer console than pc.Mainly I want to know if it will run Shadowrun,Halo 2,STALKER,and Crysis.Thanks in advance

You will be able to run the games but not at max setttings due to such a demanding resolution.

I just wanted to add on that your games will look really good and run at good speeds just you wont be able to max settings out which is still great.You can always update your card which will help for such a high resolution.

Yea you can but if it's a lcd not running it on a native resolution will look a bit pixelated.

Yea you can play Crysis but since there hasnt been any release of a demo to get info on PC's that uses 7900 cards ect. Im not 100% sure.To be on a safe side I will upgrade to a faster card.

It seems that you bought a laptop. So its gonna be hard and costly to upgrade parts (if you can even upgrade your laptop).

Yeah it should run those games you want on good settings but as for Crysis....who knows.

There havent been any official system requirements but with such a demanding resolution and with that card getting more outdated you'd probably have to turn the settings to low to run Crysis. But thats just my opinion.

I think a 7900M wouldn't be capable of doing more than 1280x1024 (or equivalent) on crysis.

720p and 1080p aren't the resolution. 1900X1200 is the resolution. I think 1280X1024 is a good resolution. Or you could try 1400X900.

It depends. If you like widescreen then go with 1400X900. If not then go with 1280X1024.
