Comment: Dear computing smart people... I need your help! I am trying to decide between two laptops- the HP DV9500t and the Gateway NX860XL. Both have 2.0GHz and 2GB ram. I am a medium-solid gamer, as i like games like doom 3 and Halo. The Hp has a Nvidia Geforce 8600M GS, whilst the Gateway has a Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS. I am told that the Hp is more of an entertainment, whilst the gateway is more gaming, but I cannot find a massive difference- so please help me clever people!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reply: (edit)Perfect! Only you may want to make the hard drive 7200 rpm for better performance and you may want to get the new core 2 duo 800 mhz bus processors(like the T7300, T7100,T7500...). My system

Reply: (edit)You made a mistake here. you SHOULD NOT GET VISTA FOR GAMING.
vista slow and will suck all your RAM. I'm pretty sure vista is unstable and microsoft will release the service pack 2 as window XP did. spsssw
