Well the processor could be a little better, but other than that very good buy.

You might be interested in replacing vista with XP until Windows 7 comes out though.

THAT sounds like my cue! :3

Actually I rather like Vista. Most of the things I use already have drivers out for them to adapt so I have had no problems. Most serious one so far is intro video to NWN2 didn't play... but that might have been because I also installed the expansion which seems to have changed the opening menu.

That is a darn good buy. 320gigs of memory is darn good! Even for a desktop, its rare. I think it's a great buy.

Word of advice, when Windows 7 comes out, don't buy it. Instead wait for 7 SP1. No OS alone is good...except for Mac OS X but that's because it was made exactly for Mac.
No PC OS is good by itself. Just wait for SP1.

dude. 320gb HARD DRIVE not ram. memory = ram = memory.
the word you want is space. space = hard drive = space.
(pet peave of mine, end rant )

but yes, seems quite a good little lappy for the price.
and im with you on vista, so long as its home premium (which you have) or above with extra ram, which you have, the vista is good.

Hard to say how good it is from my standpoint. I'm not good with spec's but if I gave it a test run I could tell whether it's good or not

*Looks at 1 GB Dedicated Video Memory*
*Looks at own GPU's 528 MB of Memory*
*Feels inferior*

Hm. It looks like a good buy, although I have 1 issue with it if I had it.
Vista.

Other than that, the specs look good, the screen is nice and large, and for that price, a overall nice purchase.
The RAM could use a small boost, 4 GB is the minimum for Vista. :/
Would be nice for a Quad Core processor... But what can you do. ;P

I didn't know they had 1 GB GPU's though, the More You Know. XD

This system maxes out at 4GB of ram, but I do like that it is DDR3 instead of DDR2. And I also like that the graphics card has it's own 1GB of dedicated RAM to itself.

That's how most GPU's work anyways.
Hence the point of a GPU. XD

DDR3 isn't much different from DDR2, from what I've heard. Can you tell me what mhz it has? (I.E, mine are 1028mhz DDR2 2GB Ram Sticks)

1066MHz each. I believe that each is 2GB.
