    Check out amazon.com. I've see it there for less than $15 new several times.

    Re: Considering Arm-A

    Okay. I'll look into it.

    In the meantime, I have a question about my system specs. Do you think I could run ArmA on this laptop:
    Processor: Intel Core2 Duo T7250 @ 2.00GHz
    Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256MB (this might be the real killer here)
    4GB of RAM

    Im pretty sure ill have to run the game on low but I can stand some tweaking....just in for the overall gameplay experience.

    I think you could run many of the settings on Normal. That sounds similar to my older rig, although not a laptop.

    Remember in ArmA that "LOW" doesn't equate to "Faster". You'll have to play with settings to optimize your performance...and many times boosting your graphics will yield a higher framerate.

    Alright thanks! Im so getting this game now. My wallet's gonna cry...need to find a good deal for it...cant pay the full price...GTAIV's just around the corner :P

    EDIT: 8600M video cards are the laptop counterpart of a 7600 on a desktop.

    I had the 7900....but I still think you'll be alright. You're gonna need to upgrade for GTA:4 anyway (unless it's console).

    I run ArmA on my desktop with a 7800GS. It's not spectacular looking, but it runs smooth.

    I don't but there's 5 ports you need to keep open for it.
