    Ok, will run that. :)

    Also, I'm not sure but the HD speed is most likely 5400RPM, and I doubt theres much graphics.

    the only thing with not up.to.par graphic card is the constraint of NON.aero running. but then u can always use 3rd party software for a "aero" look

    so far ram, cpu speed and hdd speed look good for a good running os

    cheers ...
