Not the best looker, but it's all I need to game with, visit RaGEZONE and homework and such.

Was it worth 650$? (Don't comment on the looks... I know it looks a bit bull/plain)

SEXY! Nice, I'm happy for you

Thanks :)

I'm really happy with the finger-print reader. Never seen one before.

(Also, twice as much space as my desktop Ryan... So I can do a LOT more :P)

smexies? but 2Gb ram not slow neh for Vista?

My kinda gaming doesn't take too much space... This is twice as much RAM/Speed everything as my desktop, and I can do it all there.

I game on my mac :P

My laptop does everything i want it to do :D

Except play Ut3 >_>

Nice laptop man glad your happy with it ^^

Yeah. Mac's aren't that great for gaming/pservers and stuff though.

Also, all I really do in my daily life on the computer is RaGEZONE/Photoshop/Gunz/MSN so yeah... it's big enough for that :P

But guys, was it worth 650$? (For my needs)

Was it worth it? Yes. Great deal imo.
Although as mentioned, i would not game on it with vista with 2gb of RAM. Depends on what you game though,

Well... I mostly play Gunz, rarely Maplestory.

Then yes that will be more than enough. Cheap and it shall serve you well for a good 2/3 years hopefully ;)

Ah great.

mike i mean. some1 use vista with 4gb ram. and still say lag or suck.
u not suck on it? xD (just asking)

No.

I've actually heard 4gb ram is EXTREMELY fast on Vista... Who told you it was slow?

And 2 is really fast for me... Unless someone is downloading stuff on another computer on the same network... (we have 4...)

I think you got a great deal.

Although, keep in mind other people downloading, doesn't slow your actual computer down, just your connection, which your RAM has nothing to do with..

HP Compaq 6910p
$921.48 - $1,890.38

its a good deal

Oh wow... Worth quite a bit...

I just would not game on a laptop at all, they overheat and the GPU can fail. If you do game make sure you got extra cooling underneath ur lapotp

Did he fuck pay that much for that! Its a really old laptop!! I rmember my dad having that liek 5 years ago -.- I guess if thats what u wanna pay for it, go ahead XD

I should infract you for being a liar and talking shit. That is not 5 years old, you could not even get that 24 months ago.

*cough* put XP on it *cough*

You might think it's running really fast now, but ALL OS seem to run fast when there clean installs. Don't you ever remember first getting XP on a pent 4 and thinking omg this is so fast, then it slowly gets slower till you reinstall and it repeats itself :p

Give it a few months before you decide Vista is fast on 2GB, that is if you can still load up firefox :p

Hell from what you say you use it for moving to Linux might be a good idea. Most old games can easily run using Wine so Gunz/maple shouldn't be a problem. And since it's Linux you won't ever get hacked :p

Agree with him.. think before take risk. :2gunsfiring_v1:
new thing not so bad. but when it become older n older it will :bad:

I already have everything that I need on it... The only thing that's slow is internet.. As there are currently 4 or 5 computers on the network, so it's not due to the computer.

Make sure at home you are using a switch and not a hub to connect the PC's. With high traffic caused by the 4/5 PC's, a HUB will definitely slow down your network traffic speed due to collisions.
