    I already beat COD4 tonight. Yea, I had it cranked up to the highest settings, graphics, textures, etc.. Extremely smooth and absolutely no "hiccups" during game play. I seen those exact toshiba satelite models on Ebay selling for about $350-$500 bucks. I bought mine used from the original owner w/ 403 days left of total care warrantee. It is mint without even a scratch on it. Im not sure if your toshiba will even play COD4? You might have to turn the settings all the way down..

      Why would it not play?

      If yours ran it with no problem then mines should rock it. My laptop is newer, newer parts, most recent dual core AMD CPUs at 64bit, twice the ram of yours - 2GB and ATI 319MB of video memory. I have no worries.

      I was actually thinking of getting the Steam version. They have lots of sales, and I will play it on my desktop, which in specs it is slightly lower then my laptop - 1 CPU.

        And used stuff is of course cheaper, brand new is expensive. Buying electronics off of Ebay is a very stupid idea, nonetheless, I am not implying that you do it - hope not! lol - but I am just saying. You can not compare a price from a used item from Ebay with a price for a brand new item from Best Buy. The price of the used electronic item does not reflect the performance of the new version of it. lol.

        Used means anything could have been the matter with it, refurbished, or the owner just does not want it anymore. In any case, it is not positive because it is an unwanted item which that original person wants to get rid of, and he is looking for someone to dump it on.

        I personally would never trust to buy a used piece of electronic equipment from a stranger on the Internet. That is a very naive thing to do. I hope you will not get burned for it and it will not die on you. Because dealing with repairs, shipping it, the costs of it, customer support and all that shit is a bitch. I personally would never take that risk.

        For me, saving a few bucks is not worth the trouble of dealing with the consequences of it later if something goes wrong with it, which the costs of repairing it could surpass the original price of the item and all the headaches associated with it.

          Uhh FYI today's AMD processors are slower than today's Intel processors. C2D > A64x2, C2Q > Phenom. There is no such thing as a 319mb video card, so you have 319mb of your system memory reserved for video related stuff and an onboard GPU--don't expect it to run too well.
