How\'s this laptop look?
No gaming.

Re: How\'s this laptop look?
I was looking at that one and I think it looks good for something like under $1000. Right?
I'm no computer guru or anything but that's better than what I'm running right now.

Re: How\'s this laptop look?
upgrading laptop memory is the easiest possible computer upgrade that isn't external. 2 screws, remove a piece of plastic, slide it in a slot. if you think that buying unnecessary amounts up front because you'll have to "try" that 2 minute operation in the future, you have no business responding to any threads that relate to pc hardware.

Re: How\'s this laptop look?
buying more ram down the road is more expensive than upgrading from 512 to 1gig when you are buying it. however, most ram you would get in a prebuilt computer is garbage. if hes just going to be using it for watching dvds and playing poker 512 is probably fine, but 1 gig would keep it from getting obselete a little better.

SamJack is absolutely right. If you're using 2k or XP, 1GB is essentially mandatory. [/ QUOTE ] I don't get it... I used to 4-table Party on a P3 650 with 190 MB RAM and had no issues. Anyway, I'll get the 512 in 1 stick just in case.
