Dell B120 / Intel 900m Video, Gaming +

[Pengo]

I'm looking at getting one of these budget dell laptops ($500) and was curious how gaming would be on it. I assume it would be pretty poor since this IS a budget laptop but for some reason I recall seeing a post where someone with this same integrated intel video was running half-life 2 playable, granted with very low detail settings.

I've searched all over google and other forums for any gaming benchmarks for the b120/900m but have come up emptyhanded. Would this laptop be able to run any 3d games (such as warcraft 3, half-life 2, unreal tournament, etc) at all? If anybody could post framerates that'd be great...

Also, I've heard there is a problem with the power connector going bad/breaking easily for the b120 on the motherboard. Is this true?

Thanks for any info

I think this should help:

Obviously with less cpu power, performance is going to be lower - I'd recommend having a look here as well, they have good Dell forums:
