Also, there is another possible laptop I might get with a better chipset however the video memory is only 128mb. Will that a difference from 1407 mb? Also, What does DDR2 mean on the laptop and on the bestbuy website, if it says sold out ONLINE, does that mean I cant get it early at the STORE on boxing day tommorow?

1. this computer has a dual core processor, and it also has a integrated video memory also, for better game performance. this is good for light gaming. good luck :)
2. Beautiful computer but when you get it...put mac os x snow leopard on it. It will then be a kick-ass computer.
3. Wow TMI dude!! You didn't put the model number or manufacturer!!! It's an HP! If it has a Compaq logo on it HP seem to deliberately ruin those laptops. My bro has a laptop kinda like this, it's great for everyday stuff but it DOES break A LOT! I had to wipe it last week because Vista died. Windows 7 is great so get this laptop! DDR2 is the type of RAM the system uses. It's pretty much the standard for all computer ram.
