128 mb ram is way too slow man!! NOt to mention Call of duty, u can't even play fps games!Originally posted by Lord_Of_Hayan:Is my laptop a buisness class or a gaming class? Judging from the black exterior, i think it's a buisness one. HP nx6115. I wish to play Call of Duty, but it hangs.
Specs: AMD Turion64 mobile processor 1.8Ghz,
512 shared graphics 128 MB ram, 60GB HDD which is the 2nd unit after i sent it for servicing.
Also,
1)My laptop's SMART monitoring software says my HDD is now 58% fitness, and having 182 reallocated blocks. What should i do? I sent it for servicing to replace the 1st HDD, which had that same SMART error. Now this is my 2nd HDD and i don't wish to send it for servicing. 3 days of torture.
2) My laptop has 512MB (effectively 384 due to the 128 eaten up by graphics). Should i upgrade the ram to increase the speed? A technician says that my laptop processes are CPU intensive ,nothing to do with the ram.
(The process taking 99 CPU time is System Idle Process),
3) Is it common for HP laptops to hang while shutting down? My laptop always hang while shutting down, even if i did not run any programs and it's a unit just back from servicing.
My apologies if it's too wordy. I am really worried. Thank you for any help available.

My budget is $2000 , at least a dedicated graphic with 512MB, and not below 1.6GHz. I planning to get next year with Windows Vista.
