You'll be able to run most games on med-high. That's applicable especially to BF2. The X1600 is a performance chip, not the best better much better than the mainstream or low-end.
Good luck, Daniel out

It will be able to play the games you want. Just keep in mind though that it's a 128 MB GPU in there.

Fortunately enough for most mobile cards the real bottle neck is speed, and not in fact memory. Also, the fact that you have a full two gigs of ram to work with helps when the card decides to expand itself up to 512mb of video useage.
EDIT: Just got here, gonna load some stuff up, install 3dmark n' such and post some benchies

Re: Hows this notebook with gaming?
Hate to double post, but I want my friend who may be picking this up to know it's a great rig, got 2,601 3dmark05, and 1480 3dmark06, which is a great score compared to those computer shown in the thread about 3dmark05 scores. I realize it's a 15.4" so it's not directly comparable with a 17", but still it's remarkably powerful for what it is. After a smidge of tweaking I can run psychonauts (A GORGEOUS game, if you haven't played it, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, bargain on ebay for 20 bucks) as 1280x800, and it looks just phenominal, I'm glad this computer can do justice to the games I wanna play. Next up I'll be testing out BF2, trust me I'd have it all scoped out now, but my USB mouse isn't getting here for two days, so I don't wanna pain myself by starting it up with no way to play!
