Thaeris, almost exact specs as my old laptop. Thats actually a pretty good configuration, just increase RAM from 2 to 4 GB and play around with shader and shadow settings, they tend to bite the biggest chunks out of the Geforce 7600 Go. I'm just surprised yours didnt burn down yet, mine loved to burn at 80 celcius whenever i ran any game.
It's an HP laptop from 2007. Unfortunately, we got it from Best Buy ("we" being my parents, arming me with a device with which to send me off to college). Overall, it ought to be a nice machine, 17-in widescreen with a number pad (can't live without the latter). However, I think the mobo can only handle 2GB, or some other such reason for it being limited to 2 gig. Perhaps I should find a more adept technician than myself at some point to re-analyze the issue... And yes, it did die once. Sent it to HP, and it came back good as new.
The real shortcoming is not my computer, but the OS. Critically thinking, 2GB is a LOT of power. Despite the fact that many of us may consider the progams and OS's which really screamed on only 64MB of RAM seriously outdated (and may not at all be wrong for saying as such), the fact is that the OS involved didn't need up to half of your computing power to run. There's... just something very wrong with that.
