Laptops

Okay, Ram is how fast your computer goes, so for some really good games you should get 2 GB (min) for a mac, and a bare minimum of 3GB for Vista. I do not know the models of video cards there are out there, but a video card is how video and pictures, well, everything on your screen is part of the video card. The video card will make graphics better, but could be limited by your screen resolution. For fast-paced games, you will want a processor of around 2.4 at minimum. If you don't mind paying around 5k in us dollars then you could get this one (mac): http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB166LL/A?mco=NzUyMzgw and sup it up with 4 GB of ram, you definantely want the 17 inch screen, and you could get some other things depending on what you want. If you are looking for a pc, hp is good and it will run you a good 4.5 k to 6 k depending on the features you choose: http://www.shopping.hp.com, you would want a 20-inch probably, but a 17-inch would work also.
