The new dell XPS is a great laptop. I got to try one last week, the 14in one with a core i7 and GT425. I was amazed by the performance on it. I played counter strike source on max as well as left for dead 1 and 2. Then I tried Crysis on it. Amazingly at the native resolution of the 14in screen it was able to play it with every thing on "High" settings. That impressed me for a laptop. Overall I would say that it would make a good gaming laptop. But like always, a dedicated gaming laptop is always going to be better. But no doubt, it is still an amazing laptop.

You don't really meet the minimum requirements. I'd have to say that is probably the reason.

I don't think the requirements are a problem. I used to play cod2 on a radeon 9250. But unfortunately I do not read Russian, a translation could help us to better figure it out.

[QUOTE="darkfox101"]Yes it does update when you turn it on. Don't know what kev is talking aboutgunmaster55555
Dunno what your talking about but mine only updates when a new patch comes out.

That's what I meant. It only updates when there is a patch. If there is no new patch it wont update.

It does not do that in the full version.

Hmm Linux games. Well, there is this application called Play on Linux. It supports the install of regular windows games, inside of Linux. I used it once, and got Starcraft 2 to run on it. Check it out, there might be some games your interested in that can be installed using this play on Linux application.

Nice, a mix of medium high would be perfect. I'm going to go with the msi (buying it tomorrow actually). Thanks!tman93

Do you think it could play Starcraft 2 on medium?

I read that page before when I was doing research, but I was confused. On some games the Radeon would get much better fps on low but the Geforce would beat it out on medium/high.

tman93

The FPS numbers come from different laptops in most cases, that's why theres multiple numbers for low, med, and high on every game. It's also why some cards seem more powerful, when it's just the CPU on different laptops that makes a difference Anyways, according to this the 325m should be able to run it on high settings. But it also will depend on your CPU. I think you should be able to get the game to run on med to high settings on the MSI.
