lol that laptop has worse specs then my old laptop.

which runs minecraft like a slideshow.

and modern games near minecraft FPS.

amd sempron 2.1 Ghz
nvidia 9300m
3GB ram.
heats up like a motherforgeter.
runs vista good, amazingly.
got it from ebay for $200 in 2009, so i guess good deal.

also, you gotta pay +$100 for an OS.

oh, i feel like a dumbass.
minecraft will run better on ubuntu...
by 1 FPS.

also, amd semprons SUCK.
save up some money to get a real notebook if you even wish to run minecraft better then 5 FPS.

I've tested both a 6150SE and a 6200 and both were fine on minecraft. More CPU dependent though

Then it's likely my processor, as I was running Minecraft on a 6200 yesterday

6150SE wont even work on my old desktop.
*play minecraft, 5 mins later it randomly restarts for no reason, with no heat whatsoever*
minecraft runs good though.

[Darkness ZXW]

if you have a suggestion for $150-$200 then be my guest.

It's the integrated chip on the nForce 430 chipset.
So it should work lol

There's nothing wrong with Vista, but with the people who use it
