I'm thinking about Moto GP 2-3 on max or good settings and then a multiplayer game like Counter-Strike or Halo. So, basically, racing and multi-player shooter games

Currently for desktop I have a 600mhz Pent 4 with 384MB ram and 40 GB and Voodoo 3 graphics card.

I'm happy w/ Graphics right now, but it's just that when I try to play games on high resolution, it'll crap out on me. so I have to take down the details in the graphics and it makes me sad

Do I want state of the art top of the line graphics? Hell no! I just want to be able to play games with other people in the dorm w/o worrying about my computer lagging because it can't handle the workload.

Here's another question, where do I find find the balance between the processor speed and the amount of RAM i need?

The Chem-book looks good. Amost too good to be true. What are the drawbacks tot hat laptop? ANyone have nay experience with them?
