Wow for starters I just wanna say wow, this site is amazing and looking/reading around has been great. I love gaming and I've been an xbox fan since the beginning lol. But I got this laptop that cost me around 1,100 at the time and I recently bought Dead Space and was Confused on why it wasn't running Lol. So I updated the Graphic Drive on the laptop to the 945GM Express Chipset Graphics Driver..lol still bad I'm running everything on low settings and the game is still skipping all over the place. So I started to look around, a friend from college told me he built his awhile back so I decided to look into building computers. And I proudly say now I'm hooked staying up long nights reading and learning about different parts, you know expanding my knowledge...I mean we all learned some way I'm sure you guys remember the process...and I've gotten better but still new to this and looking for advice and some guidance with this. LOL as for the laptop I'm currently selling it on ebay trying to help cover some of the cost off building one.
Wanna check it out the laptop is here in the link below
