    Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, I have just bought a new notebook, the HP Pavilion 15.4” Widescreen Notebook PC (DV6119US). It has got the following specs:

    • AMD Turion™ 64 X2 TL-50
    • Built-in 802.11 wireless
    • 1024MB DDR2 memory
    • Burns DVDs and CDs
    • 80GB hard drive
    • LightScribe disc-labeling

    Is it a good notebook? Is it good for playing games? how good? what kind of games can I play?

    My first intention wasn't buying it for games, I want it for work, but now that I bought it I want to know how games run on it.
    The notebook will be delivered to me in some days, so I just have to wait a bit :p

    Thanks

    I have the same one. Bought it about a month ago, and it's been great. Have so far only played one game - Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Geforce Go 6150 has no problems whatsoever running that game. The game runs absolutely smooth at 800x600.
