Also I'd like to point out that I played SC2 ladder (albeit on low settings) and some hl2 and gta (which stuttered at times) on my current laptop which is a 2.4ghz core 2 duo p8600, with 4gigs of ram, and a geforce 9800m GS. Not really sure how the 9800m GS compares to the current budget video cards (50-100$) that I would need to install just to get multi monitor capability, but everything else seems better than my current setup if only slightly so.
