    Im lookin in to buying this laptop and have a few questions. Im going to get it with the AMD Sempron(TM) 3100+. Im going to upgrade the memory to 1gb and prabably upgrade the hard drive to about 60 or 80. Will this be ok for playing WC3? Im not going to be playing any other games, im getting this mostly for internet and school and music plus WC3 on the side.

    I suggest you get a celeron because a sempron is the worst processor you can buy for a notebook.

    Actually its the other way around. With the Sempron you atleast get some power saving features, the Celeron M lacks any such feature and performance wise they are quite similar to each other.

    The graphcis card is fairly low end but should do OK with Warcraft3. Make sure to get the 128MB version of the 200m.
