    it can die.. http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055333078

    but before it kicks the bucket it will play source-engine at good though not fantastic levels of quality, and you might even be able to squeeze crysis past it on bare minimum specs but i dont know if your processor quite has enough horsepower for that.

    A slice of bread would run Source OK...

    It's pretty crap for the latest and greatest, though it's great for the games of yesterday like Battlefield 2, Half Life 2, Far Cry, and reasonable for titles like Company of Heroes, Team Fortress 2, so on and so forth. Also capable of belting out Call of Duty 4, Bioshock and the like, though at drastically reduced settings.

    dammit.....well that sucks the monkey's balls. I spose it would be an idea to send it back n get something done while it's still under warrenty.

    I have noticed that the new graphics driver from the dell website has cooled down the card significantly, I can feel that there is no retained heat in the palm pads. However, the battery life has taken a load of buckshot to the balls. Seriouly reduced battery life due to the fan speed up. Literally barely gets through a movie now. Right pain in the balls. I am not impressed.
