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.

Yeah that too

If you're running vista with 2 gigs you can in theory play games. But it's gonna suck.

Get at least 4 gigs.

No idea about the video card. Most video cards can handle the games these days.

It has a NVIDIA GeForce® 8600M

The bets of its kind is a NVIDIA GeForce® 8800M. Thats just for the 3D and quiality of the game.

8600 can play all games made from Today and below with the highest quality.

I think it has 2G RAM, but my friend has this exact laptop with the same features and he plays games perfectly!

If that's the case, then I'd just see if he'd let you spend some time on it for a bit, just to see how it runs. My laptop needs more memory, but I don't go around complaining to my friends (only my closest of friends). Ask him "what do you like least about your laptop?" and see if that seems like something that's going to bug you down the road.

Sometimes stuff that doesn't seem like a big deal in the excitement of buying a new computer becomes a bigger deal down the road, when the "newness" wears off, or so my experience has gone.

I'm sorry, I can't let this post go by without comment. Erica needs to post this in every relationship, music and fashion thread.

Seriously.
