I take 200. I promise I won't sell them on ebay (maybe).

Now I feel betrayed. I read in forums that the 3mb-6mb difference in l2 cache won't make a difference for gaming (Since as I wrote earlier, the graphics card is the bottleneck). It will only matter for heavy duty applications like Photoshop. Maybe there will be a demo, so I can try.

i just payed 1000$ for this laptop. i didn't really want to take my time to investigate the whole big landscape of laptops, but as far as my research went, the T8400 should be more than capable of what I'm doing and shouldn't be the bottleneck for games, as it should still be the graphics. I just was looking for a solid laptop to do my work on, for about 700$. then i found this offer with a dedicated graphics card and thought i give it shot. i least this way i can try spore some time or some other game. Actually, I heard the Celeron2 is pretty neat, mb you know more than i do.
ps.: i couldnt chose another processor. the highest possibility was a p9500 @ 2.56, which is still a c2.

I just ordered a new laptop and I'm wondering if this game will run on it nicely, or if I should get FarCry2  for my xbox. The laptop's specs: Celeron2 duo @ 2.26ghz, geforce 9600 with dedicated 512mb ram, 3gb sys ram. I would rather prefer to play on a pc, since i just got my console before a month and im still not friends with aiming on a gamepad. Thanks for your replies.

If I had that much money, I'd spent it all on hookers and booze.

I think there is a well less known game based on the Ultima series which takes place in space.

This is one of my favourite video games EVER. It's just that good. Every few years I install it again. You can download a version with enhanced resolution etc. here: http://exult.sourceforge.net/.

My guilty pleasure: every year I install either a) Ultima 7: the black gate b) X-com: Terror from the deep or c) Jagged Alliance 2
I can't get the hype around: Halo and many other more generic sci/fi or ww2  shooters. Hell, they just look so arbitrary to me. (There are also alot of shooters I enjoyed).

which illustrates my point nicely

I agree with shotaro. I would have played this game when i was younger, gut I think the content is really critical. The story is really good. Content wise,  it's a typical gangster story, reenactment of behavior in popular movies. But if this behavior gets digested unreflected it will lead to wrong perception of appropriate behavior. I don't talk about people running around and killing someone, it's more the powerstructures presented (treatment of minorities) and image shown as desirable (ie. it's cool to call other people fags to demean them).
