<Font color=pink>Timber-I just finished my first year of college ;) and I know laptops are shat for gaming so I'm getting a desktop-what kind of decent gaming laptop would i get for $800 anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]

This is what i can take from the old computer-the monitor (17inch flat panel), the 2.1 sound system, and the video card (i payed for all those, and the extra sticks of memory too but I need to leave those in [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), and I can probably steal the wireless keyboard my mom has for her laptop since i've never seen her use it

Cool, that's a full 200$ down! save up for the x800 then [img]smile.gif[/img]

Have to get back on you with the stats on my current computer, but the one I'm using right now I bought for $800 plus tax.

At Wal-Mart no less.

A wonderful little package deal. HP makes it.

Pentium 4
2.4 GHz

(I'm pretty sure those stats are right, but not entirely positive at the moment and it's late. ;) )
