I don't even mind, the computer is fast and now I have a computer for school. Next step is getting the money so I can build myself a desktop.

i'm hoping a windows PC rather then the Mac you have

Mac is decent, i'll admit, but its not for gaming.
make sure you get Win7 with decent great hardware

actually, the graphics card i have is perfect for gaming rigs.

Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family

It's listed twice so I have two of them?

yes.
however they're old and not good at all

most of the good ones would look something like this:

this one being mine, but my PC is an actual desktop and this one is about more than half the size of you laptops keyboard and can be easily installed in 2 minutes.

the thing you have is a tiny piece of stuff.
no offense

I thought TF2 alone was over 37 GBs :S

initial install only requires 5 GB of HDD memory

most of the newer games are like close to 8 or 9 GB

TF2 won't run on that.
Best you can run is Terraria, but you can play team fortress classic if you want!

Steam and TF2 together are not 20 GB
he can fit them on there and run them

It won't show me.

Control Panel > Devices and Printers or something similar > Device Manager > find/expand "Display Devices" or something similar

protip: when you install windows programs and it asks you where you want to install it, always click OK/Next when it says:

"C:\Program Files\[company/program/name]\[program]" or something similar
as long as it says C:\Program Files somewhere in the name, its fine


however some programs install multiple components in different folders.

Ok I have DirectX 9 I have 1.60Ghz for my processor. Where exactly do I find the amount of Hard Drive space I have?

My Computer
your hard drive will be labeled "Local Disk C:" by default

everything about that runs on the computer will be stored here.
most windows programs will also go under "Program Files" (located in C:)
