I upgraded the ram when I bought it. Not a bad little laptop for an even 1000 (pretax of course). My only reservations is the kinda slow hd speed and the battery life. I saw another hp there for a bit more and while it was faster and had 2 gigs standard it had integrated video blech.

Still, its got enough power and is small enough to fit in a messenger bag. Also, this is not a tablet. The screen just swivels for display which is worthless but whatever.

No it's a spicy, strangely textured cheeto, thing.  And they have a compounding effect, the more you eat, the more delicious they are!

demi: yeah thats kinda why I got it. I have a nice compaq widescreen but goddamn its heavy and huge, and im tired of using the old laptop case instead of my new messenger bag. Portability > Power for me, but it does help the video isnt intel ill admit.

bloodwake: WAMU wont lemme overdraft anymore, I just get DECLINED if its too much

I was actually going slower than everyone else, but the motorcycle cop picked me. Oh well, not worth arguing over.

That makes me feel more at ease.  I checked through their Wiki and it seems like a solid company.  Usually when a company makes shitty hardware, it's included in their Wiki entry. :lol

yeah I heard the physics (which are the really interesting part of the game imo) are 60 fps so it'll play good.

Dude, IGN says that it plays like the Sega Rally games of old, but with track deformation, so that's good enough for me.  :-*
