    I currently use an hp desktop with the following stats:

    AMD AthlonXP 2600+ 2.08 GHz
    1 GB RAM
    ATi Radeon x1300 512 MB

    now i know this is an old compuer but i kno what kind of things it can run so id like to use it to compare things and see what kind of laptop i need to be happy gaming. First of all ihave an xbox 360 so how important is it even that I have a gaming pc? Is there any point other than mmos? Secondly, how does this compare to an m1330 with 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 128 mb 8400 GT and 2gb of ram? Im thinking about downsizing my laptop for college and a 13.3" would be optimal. Woudl this run gamse better than my current desktop? Overall id really just like to be able to run age of conan when it comes out. If not what would be the smallest laptop i could get that would run these games decently

    Well I'm not sure how the video cards would compare, but the C2D in the laptop should beat the one in the desktop hands down.
