What do you think? I like it and have been using it. I can get MS office on it because i have the CD and it works good enough online. Its the right size but just a tad heavier than others but it no problem. Pretty good hard drive at 80 GB though its processor isn't great. I don't think I would ever buy it but its free so thats great. Is there anything I should do to soup this baby up?

the integrated gfx card sucks, but outside of that its a good laptop that shouldn't give you any troubles. good job.

I play more consol games than computer games so do i really need a good grafix card??

And thanks everyone for all the help with options for MS office but I had the stuff I needed and I have it running already. I put that in and transfered over 3GBs of redskin videos and I am good to go with everything I need

How much would more memory cost like Bohnzie said? Is it hard to do?

memory upgrades are fairly cheap and pretty easy to do, but you need a micro screw driver and the screw(s) that hold the flap you need to open tend to be cheap ones that strip with some ease :/

the upgrade takes under 5 minutes though, just open the ram package and push it into the slot, screw the faceplate back on and that's that.

for prices, i'm not sure what speed your laptop uses, but its probably 200 pin ddr3200 (though it might be ddr2 pc4200). either type costs $35-50 + shipping (for a 512mb stick) depending on brand.
