    What do you mean? Is this a good gaming pc? If thats the question then its a fairly low end gaming machine but will run most games, if not all that well. Also I am assuming you mean Nvidia instead of Xmidia AGP 5500 256mb

    Wait, if i look correctly you have 12gigs of memory there. How to plan on putting games on there. Most games now adays use at least 3gigs of memory alone.

    A P3 800 is a typewriter compared to a gaming rig. A fast processor, gig of ram and a killer video card defines a gaming machine for starters. By killer video card, one below the hottests card, ATI or Nvidia, about 400 bucks. Having played WoW for many months, I would say it MAY run it, but it will be choppy and slow. My guess is that it will choke on your graphics card one way or another. You might consider, if money is tight, buying a NForce board of some sort with a cpu and onboard nvidia card as a cheap alternative to an expensive gaming rig.

    If you or anyone else calls 15", whether it's widescreen of not, great gaming, then enjoy!

    Laptops, although they have improved markedly over the last year or so, still have too many limitations compared to a desktop.

    Im not saying that its actually a gaming laptop. Just by looking and the specs of it i think it will be decent.

    Plus it looks sick!

    Actually, your words were "and its a great gaming laptop also"

    Anyway, I wouldn't buy it if it looked sick. :)

    Look at this:

    Processor Spd 2.0GHz

    Memory Size 1GB

    Capacity 100GB

    Video Memory 128MB

    Optical Drive Dual Layer DVD±RW

    Its just not looks.

    Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

    If it's me, don't bother. I'm familiar with this laptop, and have read several magazine reviews, where it scored poorly in both.

    So yes, it is just mainly looks, for which you are paying a premium.

    Regardless, you are paying a premium, in essence for the Ferrari logo and because it has red. :)

    There are plenty of cheaper and better laptops on the market.

    Anyway, there's no use going on about it. If you think it's great, don't let me put you off.
