I wanted to increase my laptops gaming ability, it's not to bad as it is, but it could be better. I was seeking some advise from a friend and was led to this forum to do that. So I'm including a report for consideration below and my appreciation in advance for any helpful tips or thoughts...LION

Well to be honest, if you are looking for any sort of longevity in a laptop you should get one that supports 8 gigs of ram or more. Not to say that you need it to come with 8, but trust me, in a year's time, you will be glad you have the head room (unless of course upgrading in a year or so's time is acceptable)
