whatever is good for gaming, I was thinking 1600x900 or 1920x1080, 1900x1200 may be too high for a mid-range system to push on some games?

portability doesn't matter too much

battery life doesn't matter too much
6_Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
yes I want to play games. However the most frequent game I play is EQ2, which is CPU-bound. So while GPU is important, I need good performance from CPU as well.

gaming is primary

storage doesn't matter too much

14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I live in Canada and want a mid-range gaming laptop for $1500-$2000(ish) CAD. I'd like to play modern FPS games, as well as EQ2 which is a CPU-bound game. I think 1600x900 is the minimum res I need, but likely 1920x1080 would suit me better, if a vid card in this price range can be expected to push games at that res (GTX 260m?).
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
