Hey here is a link http/www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-330M.22437.0.html which shows the benifits of the 5650 vs 330m (Note 2nd paragraph). It has full direct 11 support, is a better performer and probably uses less power and produces less heat. Imo... Ati has alwayse had the upper hand in these areas so i would definatly go with the ATI.

Gaming around the 720p resolution with med/high settings should be fine for most games (Bar crysis / GTA4). Make sure its equipped with GDDR3 Before making the purchase and remember you can overclock if you need to squeeze out some extra performance. Hope this helps!

thanks for reply but acer gives a DDR3 only instead of GDDR3.is it ok with DDR3?please reply. thanks in advance.

Hi sorry for late reply, first chance to get online today!

Simple short answer, yes this will be fine

More detailed answer,
The systems memory is DDR3 (perfect), And the Graphics memory will be DDR3/GDDR3 So this will perform fine! (If it 's the ddr3 varient, it will give maybee 2-5% less performance, nothing to worry about!)

Only week-point on this laptop is the Battery, but this is fine if you plug it in during intensive use. (you can alwayse buy another battery later on for backup power)

Treat the battery well by giving it a full charge ONLY when its empty! Also they dont like getting HOT... Something to keep in mind! (Use on a table when possible, or consider buy a quality cool-pad for when your gaming)

Try unplugging the battery when it's full and not needed. (on the mains adaptor)
I have kept my Dell Inspiron 8600's battery good as new since 2004 using these methods, still lasts 2-3 hrs

Feel free to ask anymore questions i will keep an eye on this thread.
