1. That is fine for gaming. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-9300M-GS.9452.0.html
2. Although this game may run casual games (The sims 3, Maplestory, Warcraft 3, Spore), it cannot run advanced games such as Crysis, Call of Duty 4, UT3, Flight Simulator x, Farcry 2, Doom 3, or Fallout 3. No, this laptop is not good for advanced gaming. It comes with an intel GMA graphics card, which cannot run most modern games comfortably. If you get a laptop for gaming, make sure that the graphics are at least Nvidia Geforce, or ATI Radeon branded graphics.
3. the graphics card is lacking... but that's compared to newer models i suppose so yea you'll be able to play a good amount of games, just not intense ones
