    Found this. I guess it's close:

    F8SG-4P040C

    ASUS 14" TFT(WXGA, Colour-Shine), Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 (2.4GHz), nVidia GeForce 9300M G with VRAM 256MB, 250GB(5400rpm)+TPM, 3072(1024x1, 2048x1) DDRII 667 RAM, DVD Super Multi DL Light Scribe, Vista Home Premium, 802.11a/b/g/n - F8SG-4P040C

    Looks like it would do ok for most games.

    well, it'll play just about any game. But some at low settings.

    not very well, I'd suggest either looking at another computer for gaming or looking at older games.

    But keep in mind you'd be going from a somewhat bulky 14.1" machine, to a rather bulky 15.4" machine. :)
