I'm getting a new notebook for the fall. I've done some pricing, and cyberpowersystem.com has the best price I've found so far. My biggest issue is I'm not very up to date on Notebook hardware. Will this loadout run the latest games (Battlefield 2/Half-Life 2/Doom 3), and how soon will it be obsolete? Also, does anyone have a comparable model with a better price?
