I have a Nvidia 8400M GS and the card isn't crap, but it's not the best. I could run the Bioshock demo at 40-50 fps on everything low, and could tweak it to look decent and get 30-40. I mostly only play War3, CS, and BF2 on it, and it runs that stuff fine. If you want a gaming rig, I'd suggest getting a PC.
