I'm debating to purchase a Toshiba Satellite M65-S909 Notebook (2.0GHz Pentium M Centrino, 1GB DDR2, 100GB, DVD±RW DL, Windows XP, 17" TFT). Online, it is 1600 off Toshiba; I found it at Costco for 1250. I am going to be using it to bring with me to college back and forth, and it would be nice if it could play some new games, such as HL2, CS:S, etc. The graphics that comes with it is "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 with 8MB-128 MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory". I have heard that this will not be good enough to run newer games. Additionally, I have heard somewhere that a computer with a built-in graphics accelerator does not have room to upgrade a real graphics card. Could someone please bring some sense into this and tell me what a media accelerator should really mean to me?
Much appreciated.
