You bring your computer to my place. I'll make an image of your hard disk and install Windows XP for you.

How do you like that?

depends on what type of 3D games u want to play

if u aim at BioShock, no way your laptop can handle it , maybe low 3d setting?

I ordered a 1420 online on 30th (Thurs when Comex started) and it's now ready for delivery. Thought I would have to wait for at least 2 weeks but this is really fast!
