    what kind of gaming can you do on the m1330 ??
    would Civilization 4 and Command & Conquer: Generals work fine on it?

    I'm pretty sure you would be able to run those on the 1330, possibly with some funky resolutions. However, I've read multiple places that Civ IV has serious issues with Vista which are still being resolved (might be fixed in new expansion).

    Yes, and supposedly the HDMI will carry audio as well. But don't expect smooth gaming at 1080p resolution, and I assume you're stuck with a 30fps refresh with progressive scan?

    yep, you can. Although whether it's a fully fuctional, w/ audio output is still under debate..
