Hey,

I've just finished setting up my whole network completely wirelessly and use the internet via wireless usb.

the problem is I can not get the xbox to connect to Live.

I'm thinking of just connecting a straight ethernet cable directly to one of the ports on my wireless router.

Should I have gotten a wireless modem/router instead?

Now that I think of it that might do the trick.

I failed networking school so has any one had any success with mobile broadband?

I have to admit my glee has a bit of a chink in the armour as from my understanding integrated graphics cards can not be upgraded.

I'm wandering exactly what can you upgrade on a laptop that's important for games.

I may have to Call HP about what I can install. I'm confident the computer can play games for the following year,, but now I'm paranoid that I spent so much money that I wont get any decent performance out of games that will comes out in two years.

Any one own a laptop and have they managed to upgrade theirs?

No.

This is definately not spam.

( I saved up so many months and paychecks to get this laptop)

I'm proud of my purchase I'll post some shots of the games running.

I would have gotten Alienware, but I'm not a hardcore pc gamer and I prefer this laptop because of it's other functions that in my opinion tops Alienwares offers. The large screen, harddrive, remote control and media center, blu ray and other stuff

I notice the big difference when playing certain games on my laptop and my xbox360 (I still love my 360) I though playing my Command and conquer 3 Kane on the 1080p monitor looked good, but compared to running Company of Heroes on the laptop- I can definately zoom in more where i can actually make out the eyes, mouths and animations such as trees and actua leaves swaying. Maybe this is just the games but I know understand why some PC players sort of seem snooty to console gamers.

The funny thing is I prefer to play on consoles.

When the BIG ttiles come out I'm definately playing in on the Laptop instead - RTS games StarCraft2, Crysis, Mass Effect

I'm definately a big fan of certain genres on PC's now.

I just bough this baby over the weekend and am busy optimising it-

removing unwanted software and services.

freeing up as much ram as possible,

I don't actually play games on P.C. only my Xbox360, but so far I have been really impressed running some demos on max setting s like Company of Heroes, Fear and Unreal 2005 for this laptop

I chose to go with a laptop instead of a desktop because of my line of work, conveniance and mobility- though with this laptop it does tip the scale to a near small desktop replacement for it's size

* I have a 1900*1200 full 1080p second monitor if that will make a difference, But I prefer to use the laptop screen as the main monitor.

What else do you guys suggest I can do to get the most out of this. I don't know If I can upgrade the Ram, GPU or other essential for this machine and external things like drives, external harddrives, and all are out of the question.

any body here have a simliar spec laptop and is running games like Crysis, Prey Call of Duty 4 - what do you think?
