    Yes, it'll run it with acceptable performance. However, it uses the same core as a low end video card (the Geforce 8400 I believe), so it's not ideal.

    Why do you want to buy a Quadro card anyways? Those are meant for big business workstations. If you just want to play games or make 3D models for a game, a Geforce is all you need (or a Radeon). If you're animating the next Pixar movie, then a Quadro (or ATI FireGL) is what you need, but I don't think you're in that field.

    My friend is getting a laptop and he is asking me what is good for it. Could a Core 2 Duo 2.5 ghz last 4 years for college? Or should he get the 2.8 ghz but that costs $650 more. The video card my friend is getting for the laptop is a 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX. And what I mean by "last" is, will it still be good enough to run games in 4 years?

    A mobile Geforce 8800M? That'll only fit in a laptop that's 17" or larger...which totally defeats the purpose of a laptop. If your friend really wants that much graphical prowess, he should get a desktop.

    But yes, it is a great card and will run all games at high settings with no problem, and he should go for it if he has the cash.

    The 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo is already excellent for games. 2.8Ghz is even better but is it really worth $650 more? It depends on what he does.

    According to the website the 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX is running on a 15.4" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD (1200p) screen.

    Ah, for once I've been proved wrong when it comes to laptops. I just googled it, and sure enough, Alienware had the good stuff.

    Then go for it, all the way.

    Speaking of laptops, I'm changing mine to an ASUS laptop with similar specs (2.4Ghz C2D, 2 GB RAM, etc...) but with a Geforce 8600M GT instead...I don't mind sacrificing some graphical capability in exchange for extended battery life.
    One of the novelties in this laptop is Alienware’s BinaryGFX technology. The dedicated graphics card operates in conjunction with an integrated graphics processor. The onboard GPU reduces power consumption during low intensity tasks, while switching to the GeForce 8800M GTX unleashes full graphics capabilities.
    (off topic) hmm...they copied from Sony. My dad's 13.3" laptop was the first to have a hybrid gfx system, with a GMA 950 for non-intensive tasks and a Geforce 7400 for the tougher stuff. (end off topic)
