    Hey whats up NBR people, I was at my local computer shop earlier and saw this Toshiba Satellite X205-S9800 for sale "Supposedly New" for $899 is it any good? I searched the forum and found nothing on this specific model... heres the newegg page for it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114445

    few questions :D :p
    1. whats the biggest processor this baby can take?
    2. whats the common problems with it?
    3. the price right or give them a hard time :wink:
    4. is the Nividia GeFore 8700M GT a good videocard??
    5. I'd be using it to play COD4, CODMW2, Runes of Magic, Left4Dead, HalfLife2, and my wallet knows what else..............

    Not Recommended... It's a great machine but it's an old technology (2007)... You can get better, newer things for that money... There is the Asus G51 (Geforce GT260) and the Gateway FX's (Geforce 9800m GT) That will destroy the 8700m GT in every way... You also get newer processor tech and faster ram... Those machines sit at around 1000 $...
