CS:S
Q3A
UT2004
C&C3
DOOM3
Bioshock
TF2

Bioshock is what I'm playing recently, at times the FPS gets low but in general the T61P runs it well (with the quadro 570M GPU). I only run at 1024x768 but it looks fine to me.

However, my t61p has the 4 gigs of memory bug that a few others have run into, where running 4 gigs of RAM causes 3D games to crash. It is currently being sent in for repair, hopefully they will swap out the motherboard and solve the problem.

With one 2gb stick of RAM all these games run fine and don't crash but when a second 2gb stick is inserted all hell breaks loose, constant crashes and errors.

I cannot play games which are too new on my T42 (Radeon 9600 64MB).

I beat DOOM3 and Prince of Persia Warrior Within on it, and now I'm halfway through Chronicles of Riddick.

Oblivion and Guild Wars currently on my T61p. Used to play Everquest, Everquest II, World of Warcraft. I also like the several of the Hoyle Games: Cards, Casino, Board and Puzzle. 2005 versions don't seem to play under Vista, but 2006 Casino and 2007 Card and Board games play ok.

I played world of warcraft on my T42 for quite some time. It ran well, but got hot. I quit WoW for lord of the rings online, which did not run well at all on the T42 but looks good on my new shiny T61p

I play:

Live for Speed (don't try this at home without a G25) :D

GTR2 - I have had problems playing this game on my T61p. The game would hang and sometimes it would resume after 1 minute or so, but other times I would need to hard reset. I gave up on this game.

MOH Airborne (finished, plays very well on th T61p)

Now, I'm playing Lost Planet: Extreme Condition on my T61 with only 1GB Ram. It's not good to experience the game. I intend to take 1GB from my z61t and install it to T61, but I'm selling it, and don't know when my buyer comes so I should buy a new one then.

I have the x1400

Currently I only have C&C 3 installed but I'd like to try out The OrangeBox. Can anyone tell me how well my T60 can handle it.

Coincidentally, what drivers are you guys using?

Lenovo supplied?
Omega Drivers?
DriverHeaven?
