Ya that is really high resolution...the CS:S isn't the most graphics intensive game it might be a little slow. I have an 8600gt in my laptop and it does pretty good but that is at 1280x800....I did the fps test with whichever episode of HL2 has the test and got over 75fps. HL2 is probably similar to CS:S as far as frames go but I don't know how many less you will get at that res.

I don't know if you need to do this for vegas but for older games you can run games with the XP OS. I think you select the games properties and then go to compatability and change it to XP. I have Vista and did this for WC3 and it works fine. The only thing is that whenver you play it you have to right click the icon and click " run as administrator".

I put my laptop to sleep several times a day and about half of the time I get this message. I scan for sollution and I get (not always, sometimes nothing happens) a long error message which indicates that a USB device has endagered my computer and therefore it went to blue screen and shutdown. I have installed new headphones and a printer and both run through USB. I am thinking the headphones are the issue because I have heard of problems with them (TekNmotion Pulsar SX headphones). So any drivers to be installed or anything I can do to fix the problem that you guys know of? Thanks.

I have an XPS m1530 and can play all my games without the disk...I heard you needed to install some software to do this but I havn't done anything (at least on purpose). I can even play WC3 without the disk which especially surprised me because it is an older game (this probably has nothing to do with it but still...) I also can play all the Orange Box games and CoH. Is this normal? And if it is it seems a bit weird seeing how if I really wanted I could sell my games and still be able to play them.
