Hi just about to buy this laptop from a freind for £750 which includes a 300GB lacie USB hard drive + laptop bag.

I am guessing that games like F.E.A.R will not run on this laptop very good, but will most games run ok on it, game I will want to play most is rome total war.

thanks for any help !

might consider changing my mind if you guys think I can get a better system.

I remeber reading a post on here from a guy who has the x700 and he says you can play F.E.A.R no problems on his laptop as he edited the config file of the game or something to make it run smoother.

Is this something that is well known on here as I would love to no what to do ?

thanks for help
