    I really hate this laptop but anyway. I have an ML6721 I use it for internet browsing/Hardcore gaming (hardcore as in everyday, I don't mind playing everything on Low but I Hate like anything below 15-20FPS)... I know some gateways you can upgrade the RAM&CPU would it be worth it if its possible?. Only one more question, I'm pretty sure its not worth it/possible so what could I buy for around $500-$800? maybe a P-7805u or P-6860?. last thing, I do want to play COD: MW2 even if its on Very Low!. Thank you ^-^

    Your laptop uses the Intel GMA X3100, an integrated graphics card. It was not designed for playing games. Upgrading your processor and RAM is not going to help with gaming.

    68xx and 78xx laptops can be found for pretty cheap online. That would give you more gaming than you know what to do with compared to what you have currently.

    It's not a bad laptop. It's just not meant to do what you want it to do. It's like buying a Prius and expecting it to win SCCA races.
