no, you need at least 2 gig ram, a better graphics card and faster processor.

Well it all depends on what your gaming needs are specifically? For example I know many people who only ever play online games like World of Warcraft, Conan etc. For this type of thing that laptop have will no issues at all!
If however you're an avid gamer that will be buying/keeping up with all the latest titles then unfortunately no...you'll def want to get a dual core processor, at least double the RAM and upgrade the Graphics Card.

In my opinion no..To play top quality games on a laptop you need a fast processor(2.0Ghz preferably more),at least 2 preferably 3gb of RAM and a dedicated graphics card like your Nvidia one.
I'd look at the HP pavillion range (£500-600+) on HP's website and try and get a laptop with an Intel Core Duo 2 Processor instead of an AMD for gaming. :D

Average for gaming but you will need a newer graphics card like Nvidi 8800 gt and more memory. If you use Vista the more memory the better. Playing the new games like CRYSIS ,COD4 ,you will need both these options.

the memory is not enough, my laptop is for school and i have a memory of 4gb and a processor speed of 2.4gHz and the video card in not that nice, it would be better if u can upgrade it to gforce 8800, and the screen should be at least 17inches, the keyboard is nice, i recommend Dell XPS for gaming laptops, i heard that they are going to release a new version of XPS this year, i gaurantee you that this will be the laptop for you if you are a die hard gamer.

The short answer: not really. Why? It only has one gigabyte of memory. Otherwise, it looks like a great gaming laptop. Just make sure that you upgrade the memory.

It should be all right if you're not into high end games. Have a look at these before you make your purchase:-
