    Situation: I use the S550P about 98% of the time to work. However, my husband wants to use it as a bit of a gaming machine (he wishes to play 'Blitzkrieg' on it).

    Problem: How do I configure this laptop to meet both of our needs without sacrificing performance and memory?

    Current PC Configuration:
    - Windows Vista Home Basic
    - Intel(R) Pentium (R) M Processor 1.73 GHz 1.73 GHz
    - 1.50 GB RAM
    - 32-bit Operating System

    Thanks in advance for any help, and good day!

    What do you mean?
    I don't think there's anything you need to configure for the laptop other than updating the graphics driver. Can't you just install the game and play?

    Off topic, but I noticed you have vista on your laptop, I have a similar model to you, where did you find all the drivers for vista? I tried installing vista before but couldn't get the fn buttons to work..
