You need to get one with at least 64Mb of graphics memory and preferably get one with an NVidia or ATI type processor instead of the SiS one that the Acer has.You can get this graphics capability at not much extra cost. If your doing Word documents or whatever then it does not matter - if your going to run games then you need graphics capability. Your cpu speed is important but without graphics horsepower your not going to see any kind of performance when you hit graphics intensive programs.I write ViewingDale as you can see from my sig. On that site is a test app that you are welcome to download and run and get an idea of its 3D or video card performance. If you get less than 100 frames per second then its considered real slow and I would expect that laptop to get about 20 or so dispite it having an ok cpu. There are many other performance apps out there. I kinda like CrystalMark as its real easy to use and see at a glance how its doing. Thats also free - click on middle image on this link :-<a href="http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html" target="_blank">http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html</a>Take it from me, you will totally regret getting that Acer laptop.</blockquote>
