The warmer conditions can also tamper with the ability to produce sperm later in life. I read it in discover magizine. How could they be wrong?

ATI Mobility RADEON 9550 graphics with 64MB video memory; S-video TV-out

Thats going to be your biggest bottleneck. The main problem with laptops is 3D gaming. They can get powerful processors and lots of memory, but adding in a powerful video card is a bit beyond them at the time.

HL2 recommends a 128 card I beileve. If you can somehow find a better mobile 3D card, get that.

Other then that, awsome system.

Do you think that I should wait until around August and see what new things they bring up because I don't really need the laptop yet... my dad wants to get me one when I go to college.

Also, I found a HP laptop with an X600 or X300 video card... it says "Graphics card
Available ATI Mobility Radeon x600 with PCI Express x16 with up to 256MB dedicated memory"

Is this card good enough?
