Do PC games work well On Laptops..

Deus Ex 2 is very buggy. On my ATXP 3000+, 1024MB RAM, and 6600GT rig I can barely get 30FPS. The game was directly ported from the XBOX version without any optimization for the PC. I've read about people with better rigs than mine getting terrible performance from the game.

I know there is a patch out there for the game, so you might want to try it out and see if it helps.

Laptops are always a step behind desktops when it comes to performance. As good as some may be, they can't compete with the raw power of a FX-57 running 7800GTX's in SLI. Besides, true gaming laptops defeat the purpose of the laptop, which is that they should be portable and not require you to sit next to a power outlet at all times.

Very true. Besides I don't think most shared memory video adapters support anymore than two pixel pipelines compared to the latest graphics cards such as the GeForce 6800 and 7800 GTX which support 16-24 pixel pipelines. Talk about an extreme difference in performance. As far as I'm aware, dedicated video adapters in laptops have so far reached a maximum of 4 pixel pipelines.

Overall though, a decent amount of games will play on a laptop with even shared memory if you adjust the settings on a pc game though. Even my ePSXe games play fairly well on my laptop and I only have the ATI M3 Mobility video adaptor.
