    I just recently bought a new laptop, specs below, and was wondering what if any upgrades I should make. I dont really do to much memory demanding work outside of gaming, and I only really play MMORPGs like WoW and some RTS stuff. I was considering upgrading the memory but again, need some advice.

    If I HAD to suggest how it could be better, I'd say faster CPU, more RAM, and disc space. But really, it's good just the way it is. You should be able to run every game on the market too.

    Nah, you don't need anything that would be safe to upgrade. A CPU has a huge dollar number on it to buy one and if you break it... well... that sucks.

    you are fine... keep the money and buy another laptop in a couple of years to keep up with the technology... dont spend anything upgrading now as your system will play pretty much all of the games currently on the market.

    It should be fine. For Vista 4GB would be ideal, but not necessary.

    You should really go for a faster CPU and more memory if you are going to be gaming...But come on dont you think 2GB is enough if you upgrade RAM do go PAST 3GB!
