    It looks like a solid setup- powerful CPU (2.13GHz/1066MHz FSB/3mb L2 cache), 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM and the 512mb ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650 graphics processor.

    Here's more info on the GPU- LINK

    Thank you for your reponse.. I dont know much at all about GPUs.. and what a decent sized one is. Do you think the one specified would be allow for use of web design and graphic design software relatively well? i know processor speed is important and was wondering if 5400rpm would be enough for this kind of function?
