    the 425m is decent, check out some benchmarks:
    NVIDIA Geforce GT 425M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

    But there's really no way of telling how it will handle future games.. but my guess is it should be able to play most games on medium settings for a couple of years, maybe with the exception of Crysis 2 or something like that.
