    For gaming go with the HP DV5t, with a P8400/P8600; 9600M GT; Vista Home Premium x64....
    Go for the lowest ram and HDD config..!! And upgrade them yourself (will be cheaper)....
    rest of the goodies are upto you....

    The VGN-FW11M won't be on par with the DV5t (9600M GT) in games..!!

    Yeah, it is a very good notebook....and it will be fine for work, study, music and watching movies....
    But its performance will be lower in games and GPU-intensive tasks as compared to the HP DV5t (9600M GT)....
