Because the dell xps that I was about to get wasn't covered internationally Im getting a latitude.

The video card in it is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M. Apparently its biased on the GeForce 8400M G or GS for notebooks.

Heres my question: Anybody have a quadro 140M or a 8400M g or gs? If so can you tell me how it plays games? fyi bf2.

And here are the rest of the specs if you want to check it out
(yay I dont have to use vista!)

It will run BF2 at low-mid settings. Forget about any new games. The 8400 is not a gaming card

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

How much worse is the 8400 compared to the 8600 gs then? I can run bf2 on full high and cod4 on fairly high with ~30 fps

No. It's a rather large step down, though.

EDIT: Curse you, maks!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
