    How is this system for gaming. I don't know much about the AMD CPU. I like Cyberpower AMD because I don't have to purchase a system with Vista. Anyone know another company that will sell me a laptop that is just formatted?

    It's average at best. The HD2600 graphics card isn't great, as is the Turion CPU. How much does that machine cost? Chances are you will be able to purchase a machine with better specs (especially since it's a 17") elsewhere at a better price, even if it comes with Vista by default.
