I'm Back, Sort Of

Hey guys. Yes I am alive, I just haven't been on GS in a few months. I don't actually plan on staying, but I was wondering if you guys could help me with something.

There is a laptop I'm eyeing up, a Gateway NV7802u, and all of the specs are what I need, but I heard the graphics card on it is worthless.

The laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 (2.2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache), Runs Windows 7 (64-bit), has 4GB of memory, and has a 17.3" HD Widescreen Ultrabright™ LED-backlit Display.

Basically everything I ever wanted in a laptop. Plus, it's only $650. The only problem is I play PC games. The description of the graphics card on the specs list says this:

"Chassis with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with up to 1759MB of Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0, supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 10 and Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset"

My question to you is, can this graphics chip play PC games (WoW, Borderlands, etc.) maybe not on high settings, but close?

Thanks!

Can't answer your questions, but I'm just gonna say you can never stay away from this place.

I don't think you'll be able to run many new games on that - it seems like it's a card that's built for watching videos and surfing the net, not for playing games.

PC gaming and laptops don't really mix unless you go for a Dell XPS (which is purpose built for gaming) or you spend alot of dough on a Mac and bootcamp it.
