Well there's not really much difference between 3gb and 4gb... And what problems have you heard about dual cores? They're MUCH better than single cores.

And laptops aren't really built for gaming. If you want to game build a desktop Wink Much cheaper than prebuilt laptops and the performance difference would be insane. But if you're on the go and need a laptop there's no helping it, but if you're on a desktop and think laptops are cool and you have to have one, think again.

All laptops these days comes with Vista and you've got not choice unless you select those business model lines.

Business model lines comes with Vista Business and some have the options that lets you download to Windows XP Professional, but most of the time business models do not have good graphic cards, since its designed only for work and not gaming.

If there a model with good graphics then it's based on workstation graphics and those suck in games as well.

The majority of laptop these days are dual cores and finding a single core is a waste of money and the if you still think a single core is stil better than a dual core then you seriously need to do some research and do some catching up.

Who ever said dual cores got problems then that idiot seriously need to get his ass kick and hard!

Dual cores? Problems? WAT

From what I've read, the more cores the better in most cases. Go quad if you can.

I believe you're confusing not using all cores with not supporting. Most programs out only use a single core, but 2 cores would still be better for multitasking and what not. Idk much about how multithreading works but a dual core would still be better than a single core.

Jesus christ what did you sit on? We're trying to help you make a more informed decision so you won't be regretting blowing a grand on a single core laptop.

K, well i'd like to have a link here but since you won't listen to our advice there are not laptops with the specs you want that i can find. But if you'd be willing to deal with vista (Which really isn't that bad, if there are any issues just use google, or get a windows XP disk, and format the HD and reinstall the OS as XP or something, never did it so i don't know how it exactly works)

Edit @ deviance: Yes, somewhere around 3.3GB i hear the OS uses the extra ram, or the GPU or it's just unused, a bunch of different people say other things.

I thought so.
When I downgraded, I realized I wasn't using as much primary memory then I did while in Vista, reason why I decided to switch back.

4gb is the limit to how much memory is accessible under 32 bit.

Obviously all your memory has to be mapped somewhere, such as video ram, etc.

It may also partially depend in some cases on how your motherboard decides to remap the memory.

So say you have 4 GB RAM with Vista 32-bit. It states that you are using only 3.3 GB out of the 4 GB. So the .7 GB would be remapped into other components such as the Video Ram?

Chipsets with support of more than 4GB of ram needs to have the
remap feature enabled within the bios. Having the remap feature disable will only make it recognize less than 4GB no matter how much you install.

Chipsets that supports up to 4GB of ram do not have the remap feature and in certain models dues to chipset limitation the bios will see less than 4GB.

In this case it's a hardware chipset limitation issue and there nothing you can do to fix it.

Graphic cards has their own memory therefore it has nothing to do with system ram.

I can have 4GB for my OS (32bit) and still get a 1GB video card.
