Sure. What games are you going to play? You might wanna wait for the mobile 9800 pro to come to the sager models if you're going to play Doom 3 and Half Life 2.

those games will run fine on your system adn you'll probably be pretty happy with how they run unless you are one of those guys who needs to max all settigns (aka all the poeple who hate doom 3 because it beats up their computers hardcore lol)

definitely should run fine....doom 3 on medium is a definite.....not sure about 'high'..that would be a good question...

i'm not sure how fast the dothan processors are....i have a pentium 4, socket 478 (desktop processor) 3 ghz....

dothan sounds like they follow the centrino speed factor...
