Well, the fact is, even with a single core K8 CPU, it still get's acceptable performance in games. IMO, the M11X has shown GPU is always the first bottleneck. That's why I still have my n10j around. Yes, it's limited by the Atom N270, but it's 9300m still allows it to game. Just as a a general PC, it's piss-slow.
Gaming, look at GPU over CPU. Anything else, settle for nothing less than: (dual cores) AMD K10.5 (Nile - the Athlon II and Phenom II mobile CPU) Intel Core series (Arrandale i3/i5/i7 and Core 2 CULV) NOTHING less...
