Thanks for the links guys. Take care...

tjsanda, Interesting comment, however I couldn't get your link to work. I would like to know where you got your info, especially since I endend up buying that laptop. I would like to understand my machine better. thanks for your interest...

cdogg, That was by far the best explanation I've got so far. I find myself asking why some of you take the time to give such informative responses, I haven't really figured it out but I sure am grateful there are still some considerate people left in the world. On a side note, I got sick and...

Thanks for the helpful info Nelviticus. I don't mind luggin around weight and in most situatons I will have a power outlet available. 4GB it is with the 8800 GTX video. Should be smokin...

Thanks wahnula and StuReeves for your feedback. I read alot of that article StuReeves, although I had to search for it with the heading because the link doesn't work. However I didn't see any talk about RAM running in dual channel. Let me ask you this, if I'm looking for laptop that can put...

thanks again, It seems you really are an authority on this topic, so now that you know my situation, would you mind saying what you think is going to be a better gaming performer?... the HP...

I'm using QuickCert right now. It's pretty good. They do the video style with power point notes. The only thing I wish they did more of is that I wish that gave more visual diagrams and pictures. If you could put together good power point diagrams and visual displays, I think you would...

Thanks cdogg for taking the time to spell that out for me. This is where I got the idea of the GPU taking away from the available RAM... http://www.vistaclues.com/reader-question-32-bit-vista-memory-limits/ (quote from the link) "Sucks, eh? As you probably read in this post, the “4GB” maximum...

I just wanted to add one more link to a HP laptop that has 4GB RAM and is not so pricey. It has the 8600GT video card and a little less screen resolution but it seems like a decent deal if this whole 4GB of RAM thing is actually a good thing...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I see the picture a little clearer. It still seems strange though why so many laptops are coming from the manufacturer with 3GB RAM. Is it just to suck people like me in that just automatically think, oh, 3GB is better than 2GB, I must want that... To...

I recently talked to a sales guy at ibuypower.com.(internet computer building company) I wanted to know why they don't offer any options in their custom built "gaming" laptops for more RAM than 2GB. There are a ton of other laptops out there that offer 3GB or even 4GB of RAM. He said that...

Thanks for the input, especially about the 3 yr warranty. I was thinking that was a decent deal, 3 yrs for $149.00. But if I have to wait a long time for service and I might lose my data, it would seem that the one year deal should be sufficient. I wasn't going to take the other software...

Thanks linney, all I had to do was go into my network adapter in Device Manager and disable "wakeonLAN fom power off". A simple fix. Now I know. Thanks very much!!!

I checked in the Bios/Cmos to no avail. I didn't see anything that refers to waking on network activity. I am going to try out the threads linney posted...

Here's the link if you were curious about the new laptop I was talking about... http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529667906.php

Thanks again for your input. I don't think I'm qualified to perform a cpu upgrade on a laptop. I could probably find someone though, however I have been looking at the Gateway P-171-XFX. It is a$800 more than the P6831 FX.(ouch) But it has a 2.4 ghz processor with a true high def. screen...

I am supremely annoyed by my vista os that will not stay asleep. I have gone through the common things in power management and tried every possible scenario. The problem is that when the computer goes to sleep, it wakes up in like 5 minutes or less. I have checked that it isn't the optical...

Thanks guys for your input.

I am looking to buy a new laptop and I want something that will be a desktop replacement. I have decided that I would rather just get something that has some quality hardware now with the option for upgrading in the future. The Gateway P-6831 seems to be a good fit for me. (link)...

Thanks linney and tf1 for the input. I appreciate it.
