Albeit not precisely my notebook. It is my sister's.

There was a notebook expo in my city last sunday, and my sister, had been longing for one, finally obtained an Acer Aspire 4745G with i5 430M 2.27 GHz, Mobility Radeon 5470 512 MB VRAM (1 GB available video memory), 2 GB RAM, 640 GB HDD, W7 Home Premium, 14" screen (1366x768 ), Dolby soundsystem etc., etc. Got it home for around 830 bucks.

So far I've only tested the thing with Stranglehold (woot). Planning to rig it with Just Cause 2 sometime this week, however. The notebook's W7 Home Premium (not preincluded, installed separately) is highly crucial, since my usual rig on the desk merely had an XP SP3. I am confident enough with such specs, especially considering the thing is a laptop and not a desktop. Still, I am a bit worried concerning the RAM.

I do have a parting query though. Which is better, an i5 or a Core 2 Quad? Similar clock speeds.
