Ok, well I just ordered a new notebook from HP and I wanted to get other's opinions on it. I'd like to think I know more than the average Joe about computers, but I have had the same desktop for about 2 years now and haven't really kept up with whats considered an average rig for either desktop or notebooks
Here are the specs for my notebook:

Vista Home Premium
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo processor T7300 (2.00 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
17.0" WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
511MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth
HP Imprint (Radiance) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone

Thats pretty much it. Like I said I was just wondering what you guys thought. (If the specs sound decent? Is this what most people are carrying around? or just any other opinions)
To be honest, from what I know its a pretty good set up, but like I said I am just not sure what's considered average now and I was wondering what kind of gaming potential this rig has.

Thank you ahead for any responses.

Looks fine to me. It should be able to play most anything out now without too much of a problem as well as some upcoming games, although not with all the bells & whistles turned on.

I am assuming the memory is 667MHz? The GPU is 512 MB not 511, right? 511 is quite a strange number. I think, in general, the GT cards are better than the GS.

I think the system will be fine with most games. Why 17" though?

thats a nice piece of machinery.. how much did you pay for it? the core 2 duo processor will be really fast and allow you to do just about anything you want
