    I'm looking to replace this unholy hunk of junk known as the gateway P7805U, so I've been looking for a low cost, high quality alternative.

    Top of my list is an Acer Aspire 5560. There seems to be a LOT of numbers that go along with 5560. I found some great deals for under $350 on ebay, but they all have different numbers like SB364 and SB609. It's a little confusing. I don't know if they mean anything in terms of performance or if they're just model numbers.

    So I'm looking for some advice before I buy a brand I've never used. How good are these 5560's, which one is the best to get, and which is the best at the lowest price?

    I need it to be capable of playing games like Fallout 3/New Vegas, GTAIV... you get the idea. I've only found a few youtube videos of gameplay with a 5560 and it's all crappy MMO games I could care less about.

    Also, how reliable are they? As in, will they go black screen when you move in a game? :mad:
