Hey everyone, my first post here

I'm off to college next year and the school I'm going to requires a T43 laptop.. and I'm a gamer and the x300 mobility looks blah to me. Would I be able to run Counter-Strike Source and Half Life 2 on it lol? Can the x300 mobility be upgraded?

Thanks in advance

Then get a T43p with its ATI® MOBILITY™ FireGL™ V3200

Specs on T43p...I think they start on page 37 of 73, but I may be off by a page or two.

also, many of the T43p's have 7200RPM drives...for some very nice performance...

Counterstrike Source and Half Life 2 run fine on a T42 with 512Mb, 1.7Ghz P4M and ATI9600 with 64mb.

This may be of interest -

Although not Thinkpads, one of the test systems has the Mobility Radeon 9700 and another has the x300.
