Question Looking for the cheapest BF2 compatible laptop

Hey all,

I have been playing BF2 on my desktop which is running a Sapphire 9600Pro card on med settings. I travel a lot and cannot play the game on my dell B130. I am tempted to upgrade my laptop to one that will play BF2. I really do not want to spend more than 1000$ Are there any laptops on the market today (OCT '06) that will play this game for that price? if not, what is the cheapest BF2 compatible laptop?

dell, newegg(msi/acer/asus), alienware, etc?

thanks!

Looking at Dell it seems $1200 is needed to get a decent gaming laptop. The Inspiron E1705 with an optional 7800 comes to $1,188. That should work fine.

what is better: the dell with the x1400 for 1200$ or an acer with the x1600 from newegg for 1100$?
