This Laptop has a standard 32 mb shared onboard GFX card -NO good for gaming

http://www.makro.co.za/product.asp?sku=000000000000078114|EA&dept_code=&dept_id=&iPageNum=& I dont know what graphics card either but this is more expensive

This has a SIS 256 Mb Graphics card - It will play some DX9 games but not on full Graphics and its not much for gaming.

Its msi enough said... Its not a bad laptop, just hard to repair and get stock of. MSi is not on any1's best buy list.

i found a really nice laptop not so long ago (i am keen to get one myself)

From what I remember there were 2 options, one with a Go6600 grafix card or a ati x600, i will look around and try find it again, and then give an update

Person, if you look at what LaptopMan's first choices were you will notice they are not really the same price range as what you have reccomended

i will keep looking and will update asap
