    K, just scored an MS-1652 ( GX630 ) for $400 shipped minus a HD which I already have.

    Heres what the unit is coming with:

    512mb ddr3 9600GT-M ( 550/800 )
    QL-60 ( 2x 1.9ghz with 512k L2 )
    2x 1gb DDRII-800
    XP Pro SP3

    Mainly I'm interested in CoD4/5, STALKER Clear Sky and maaaaaaaybe Fallout 3.

    you can play all of those games at high except fallout which you can play med-high, if anything ur bottleneck will be ur processor.

    I agree the processor will be the downfall.. It's still a great unit for mid range gaming. The 9600M GT is a good card. Overclocks really well, I did notice a better preformance increase using the new Dox drivers.
