It will definately also be for school work, but alot of gaming also most likely.

Alright... I will be using a laptop in high school for sure though.

I'm looking at the $1000-$1300 price range, any suggestions?

I'm trying to upgrade from the PC my family and I are currently using so I can play PC games. In order to run the games that are coming out now, I need a whole new computer. Also, I am going into high school this year, so I'll need a laptop soon anyways. So I was thinking, should I get a laptop or PC for gaming?

By the way, I'm just looking to run the games on medium or medium-high quality, I'm not a big time gamer (1-2 hours a day), budget is $700-$1300 or so.

Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated! :D

Awesome, that's not bad.

Great!

Thanks guys.

And how long would a PC like that be able to run without become "outdated"? Just an estimate.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

:D

chipset is Intel i845, but I'm not sure if that's relavent

My current PC is a Dimension 4300, OS is XP Home lol, Processor is Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.60 GHz, dont know mobo specs.
