Aha.  I thought maybe you were feeding us a line of bull, because the 
stats listed on that site look rather unimpressive, but after looking 
through the "detailed specs," I see the choices for customization are 
better than the default parts.

The best card they have listed is an ATI MOBILITY Radeon 9700 video card 
w/ 128mb VRAM.

Assuming you changed the default processor/video card choices (defaults 
to a celeron, yuck), this laptop would probably make a decent rig for Doom3.

> Obviously I use a USB Mouse.. how hard would it be with the mouse pad!?

Harder than minesweeper for sure, slick.

Thanks for the info
