    So I've been thinking of getting this laptop and I was just wondering if I configured it with these specs, how well would it run a game like left 4 dead?

    Specs:

    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 2.4 GHz
    4 GB DDR2 Ram
    1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650
    7,200 RPM Hard Drive

    I agree with TianXia...game should run with no problem, more than enough power on the DV6.

    It won't be bottle necked by the CPU. If a P4 can run it, a core 2 Duo can.
