1. Not so much for the type of computer your looking at and for the use of games. You'll need to search for a laptop with a better Processor, Ram and graphics card as those components will not play newer online/multiplayer games.
2. Hey! The specs are ok for gaming. Not extreme gaming though. The PC will play games like WoW, Sims, Guild Wars great. But you'll have lag when trying to play games like CoD4 and Crysis.
3. um...it depends on what game you wanna play certain games have certain specs. try http://www.nzone.com/content/nzone/srl/nzone_srl.asp its a great way to check to see if your computer can handle the game.
4. It's not really a "gaming" computer but it'll be able to run some games. The HD 3200 video card is not a dedicated video card and as such, it won't handle high-end games very well. It'll be fine for things like World of Warcraft though.
