People who install Linux do NOT do it to run games,

Then why are you suggesting to someone in a gaming forum he should run
Ubuntu?

Geezus, go back and READ my original post, please.

I'm not going to bother re-quoting myself, AGAIN.

Um, my laptop cost like $2200 and it's a 5 years old model with GF Go
6800 card in it.
Now, I'm on Vista running games max setting get round up to 30-40FPS.

Having a higher MODEL number DOENS'T MEAN is BETTER. She probably have
a Higher End Graphic Card than Yours.

Your girlfriend one probably has a Dedicated card not a ON-BOARD
videocard.

ON-Board video sucks bad ass at anything really.

Well said Ki,

I had a guy bring in a 3 year old MSI lappy running Vista with 2gigs DDR
ram and he could run Half-Life 2 at full detail around 30fps.

A lot of those laptops you get at Best Buy with exception of a few gaming
notebooks and the Dell XPS level systems, just bite. Only way to move
notebooks is to sell them on the cheap. Customers will drive an extra 50
miles to save $20. Cheapest system i'd ever buy would be a low end white
macbook. $1099, everything cheaper is worthless.
