Solved: Will this laptop config work for games?
I am currently searching for a modestly-priced gaming laptop and I think I have found one (although if anyone has any ideas of something close to the following stats around $1,200-$1,300 that would be much appreciated!)

Dell Studio XPS 16

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600 (3MB cache/2.4GHz/1066Mhz FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-bit
Edge-to-Edge HD Widescreen 16.0 inch WLED LCD (1366x768) W/2.0 MP
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1067MHz (2 Dimms)
320GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
BluRay Disc Combo (DVD/CD read/write + BD read) Slot Load Drive
ATI Mobility RADEON® HD 3670 - 512MB

This is my "perfect" configuration, and I almost bought it tonight because the price was so awesome ($1,249), so if you know of any other laptops that will perform better (within/around the abovementioned price-range) PLEASE let me know.

These are the types of games I'm looking for my laptop to play. They don't necessarily have to be played with their highest settings/highest resolution/framerate, although I'm looking for a solid 30 FPS, if possible:

Call of Duty: World at War
Bioshock
Fallout 3
Far Cry 2
Halo 2

and other games of the same graphic levels. Thanks so much for any help!
