What I plan to use it for

I need it to run gimp, blender, and blockland smoothly.  I also would like to know if it can run other games easily. Nothing like crysis, but things like spore. I have no idea what these specs mean, and I was wondering if this would be a good comp to buy. It has a little upgraded RAM I do believe.

I'm not an expert but I'm going to have to go with no.

Dangit :(

It's a very nice computer but it is more for conventional things like microsoft word and what not. I am trying to look up the actual gaming cababilities of the graphics card to no avail.

[Osak]

Eww.

[Chrono]

No, that's worse than my crappy computer.

Ok... lemme ask you this. Is it better than an HP mini?

Any three-digit ID for an ATI card means it's integrated.
Also, how expensive is it? You can get a good Dell for $500-800.
If you really want a good laptop for the money, you should look at Toshibas.

It's my grampas old work lap top. Hes only had it 3 months.
He's selling it for 300 bux which is perfect for my budget right now.

Pardon my lack of knowledge but what do you mean by "integrated?"

Integrated as in a card specifically mounted into the Motherboard that uses shared memory.

If that's your budget, it should run Blockland Decently on low settings, but good luck getting Spore to run :U

So by shared memory it means that the... card has to perform other functions than just running the game?

Edit: And if I was to buy another lap top, what would you recomend in the price range of 600 or less? I want it to be functional, while being able to run most games smoothly as well.

I would just build a computer.

That is to say, you can't BUILD them.

for $300?   :O

That laptop is terrible, even for a laptop.

Save up your money and buy or build a desktop.

Laptops are bad for gaming. You are better off getting a Desktop PC.
