you can't find much for 1000 if you expect some gaming chops, you might have to drop twice that amount at least

yes. actually... a 1k lappy can play bf1942 on the absolutely lowest settings, granted you are okay with 10-20 frames per second.

and if your wondering what a $900 ($1000 if you dont have an os, $1200 if you dont have a monitor or os like me) desktop can do, look up "crysis $900 pc" at gametrailers, watch the video, and look at the description. a $900 comp can run crysis on med-high settings well above 30 frames per sec.
