In need of buying a laptop

Hey guys. I need your freedback.

I'm interested in buying this laptop;

HP Pavilion dv9548us Notebook with a NVIDIA GeForce® 8600M graphics card.

I'd like to use it on webdesign, DVD watching, Internet, gaming and school work?

What do you guys think? Would Battlefield 2 run on this computer? Will it be good on running current games made from 2001-2007?

Why do you hate Vista? Anything upgrade from Windows has to be better. XP was good, though.

So, the more RAM the better? What exactly is RAM?

Vista is the biggest memory hog short of Alzheimer's. I'm trying to put at least a couple of gigs on my laptop (which would be now, if my car would stop getting hit...) and honestly, I'd prefer 4. On the other hand, the boyfriend says that he thinks Vista sees his four and raises. I think he's just making that up, but he thinks Vista has it out for him.

On another note: you play Battlefield 2? I played that, once upon a time. I was too into WOW to really get into it then, and now I'm just too busy to spend any amount of time playing a PC game.

Vista is too bugged for my preference... downgrade the OS to Xp... it will be safer for the time being.

Also, Ram is needed to operate the amount of programs. Ram is your memory... the more memory the more you can do. many programs require a certain amount of memory, 1gig is slowly becoming the norm.

most "new" laptops are upgradable to 4 gigs, some even more. I would start off at 1 and go from there... help offset the cost.

XP is better thea vista. But if you're going vista you'll need 2 gigs at the minimum.

I have 2 gigs and I am constantly running into memory issues. Granted I am on my computer non-stop all day long.

It's amazing how easily even the most innocent statement can be interpreted to be of a sexual nature.
