You'll be able to use 1xIR in some games, but my belief is that no one should ever buy a machine with Intel graphics if they intend to play games, period. As far as the processors go, you'll be able to play some games decently well (as long as you don't overheat) but most of the games you mentioned are going to need more power (4.0GHz or more).
Thanks for your reply. Playing any games is just a bonus. The laptop will be for college work, so I was just wondering whether I should bump it up to 2.9GHz.
One of the main reasons I would rather use Dolphin rather than a Wii/Wii U is for the enhanced IR. But it figures that I won't be able to bump up the IR with an Intel GPU of all things.
I suppose I will just go for the base 2.5Ghz model and save some cash.
