laptops are alot more expensive for good gaming capabilities.
the graphics are mainly on board, most can run yesterdays games, but with the new lot of games that are directx 10 compatible, they gonna cost a lot of money.
try, they let you customise desktops and laptops within certain price ranges. it may help to play around to get a good idea of what to look for if your buying one off the shelf.
also it will allow you to look up the components used on the web so find more info on em.
whilst laptops are handy for travel etc.. they **** for gaming unless you pay over £1000 for em. best bet is to buy a desktop, you can pick some really good ones for about £500 of ebay with all the latest cpu’s, memory and graphics card from the nvidia 8500 + range.

I paid £1000 for my laptop and have a 512 GB dedicated graphics card, + 1.5 GB TurboCache graphics.
Making a total of 2 GB - although TurboCache isn’t all that amazing.
So I would say, personally, from all my modern games I own, 256 MB is adequate graphics power.

To run new next gen games like crysis you will need to spend alot on a laptop i think…desktop PC’s are much more cost effective if you want to play games.
For reasonable performance however, i think a newer 256 or 512mb card would be ok. (try get a DX10 card!!)
