Ok...simple, overdone Q but I really would like someone to take the time and spell out some options for me:

I have a Gateway laptop that is a few years old that my dad got for free for ordering supplies from some company ([censored] i cant even figure out what model) with like 28gb hd that im using almost all of, 1.33 ghz, 256 ram, celeron processor. It barely supports running winamp, pt, gt, party and aim but it somehow manages, sometimes it freezes up and spazzing when PT is loading data or trying to access any of it. It probably has some virus's, but its been functional (sometimes freezing than unfreezing a bit but no crashes or major problems).

When I go to settings I can change it to add another monitor and then I can change the resolution to a bunch of options. I think its an intel Graphics Controller 1??? anyways, normally I cant make the resolution bigger than 1024x768 but when i add the other monitor i have the option of increasing it but is it the increased combined resolution or the extra monitor. Also I have 3 plugs in the back that look like a printer, somethin and somethin, one i assume can fit a monitor right?

ANYWAYS, my laptop sucks and I am willing to fork over some $$ to buy a new setup w/ dual monitors to 8 table or more. PLZ help me give me some options! Laptop or desktop. I dont even know where to start when buying a computer. I was at best buy today but that seemed stupid to buy from there?? I want something good, bug free, streamlined etc. Help!

Thanks in advance!
