don't trust those youtube videos that say they ran dust with 60 fps on their gmas. it just doesnt work.
there aren't that much in terms of dedicated video cards, but make sure if you want to do ANY gaming you look for a dedicated card. Just scanning through the BB/FS flyers there are some decent ones for 900. Any laptop with a dedicated card will be at the upper limit of your budget.

wierd, my POS desktop runs CS:S just fine, were you on wireless? idk why but Steam seems to hate wireless sometimes. regardless, I spent $900 to get my dv6424 last September with it on sale and it has a dedicated card and runs CS:S just fine. So I think he can get a laptop with a dedicated card for much less than $900 now.
