2 gigs of ram is the standard today, so if you want to play any modern computer game, you will need it.
also, dual core is the way to go, and the way to go dual core is with Intel Core 2 Duo. The harddrives are SATA, which is good, but you should try getting 7000 RPM or higher. I'm not sure what the exact value is, and if they have it for laptop harddrives, but look around. I don't know anything about laptop video cards, but I have a geforce for my desktop. |
