In reading the specs on Dell's site, I couldn't find anything about what the standard Studio 15 ships with for video RAM, but it can be upgraded to 512 MB, for an additional cost, so if it isn't the top of the line for a desktop video card, but it still should be OK for most games.

The main objection I have to gaming on a laptop is screen size and lack of a decent mouse.  By the time you buy a decent sized monitor and a real mouse, why not just buy a desktop in the first place.  It will be cheaper and easily upgraded in the future.

Apologies for the late reply.
I'm sorry if you find my reply offensive, UNSCSpartan3, but what you said was equivalent to someone asking if an old 80GB IDE drive would be good for storing their entire media collection of hundreds of movies, thousands of songs etc, and if their mahcine would boot to a full OS in 10 seconds with that drive.
I did not mean to come across as a smart *censored*, but mistaking a very low end GPU for a high end one capable of what the OP requires is not (or should not be) an easy mistake to make, and it could have cost the asker a lot of money if they'd blindly listened to you (which I sincerely hope they haven't).

i understand and know i know what you meant by that. thank you
