    Sorry to bother everyone again, but I was wondering if this computer would be able to run this game at max, or close to it.

    I'm not sure if you're trying to brag or not but either way, the M15x is a sick laptop so it should be able to handle Fallout 3.

    Such a noob. It's not the outside that counts. It's the inside that matters.  
     
    I have an nVidia 9800 GT 1 GB DDR3 Graphic card 
    AMD Athlon 7550+ Dual Core processor 
    4 GB DDR2 Memory 
    Gigabyte motherboard w/ AMD 780G Northbridge chipset and built in Realtek High Def Audio 
    1.75 TB of hard drive storage  
     
    But I do really, really, really, want those monitors of yours.

    @jadeskye: I'm thinking about going SSD, but I need to look more into it. I also refuse to go Intel or ATI for graphics. Just had some bad runs in the past. So far AMD and nVidia have been my best friends.

    @Biohazard237:  Yeah you'll run it fine, depsite the game being a shitty port. The framerate jumps around like crazy in that game so be sure to enable V-sync.

    remember that you don't owe them any loyalty. always go with the best price to performance ratio regardless of manufacturer. That said, SSDs are very simple at the moment. 
     
    Buy an Intel x-25M G2
