Hey guys my dad will be receiving a 50k laptop which would be vista based that implies it would have 1 gb ram.So can i play games like fear,doom3?thanks.

Does it have a dedicated graphics card..?? Just having a 1GB RAM isn't sufficient to play a game..

If you want to game make sure you can install xp on it. Many vista laptops these days don't have drivers for xp.

Many gaming companies advice against playing heavy duty games on laptop.

From my personal experience. After playing for 2 years on a laptop with good graphics card, it will be running at 1/4th the original framerate
