Funny how I was just thinking about this today.  I need a new graphics card, because mine is absolute stuff.  The problem is that I have a laptop, does this make it any different for installing the card? 
If not, where can I get a reasonably priced graphics card that can run TF2 on adequate settings?

If i could change my laptops CPU then i would do it ASAP. Then change my GPU if i could.

I got a question.

When i get my asus laptop can i make 32 bit recovery CD's even though it's a 64 bit OS?
Another question: Could i use a asus windows 7 recovery CD on a compaq that came with vista?

OEM keys are usually binded to only one computer.
That laptop will indeed support 64-bit, however no point as you don't have over 4GB RAM.
I don't understand about your windows 7 CD making computer or whatever lol.

HP recovery partition.
Can make CD's out of the partition in case if some virus deletes all partitions or you break your recovery partition like i did so i can't reinstall vista or boot it.
If i make some windows 7 HP recovery CD's since HP is somehow related to Compaq could i install windows 7 with a HP recovery CD?
jesus christ im tired right now.
