i’m planning to have a new laptop and most of the time i’ll be using it for gaming and designing (mainly 3D). I’m now between 2 laptops almost identical except for the processor:

one with intel i5 520M

the other with intek i5 430M

and the 430 lacks to some technologies such as:

-Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)
-Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
-AES New Instructions

but it has better ranking and higher recommendation points on many sites. I really don’t know why!

so now i need your kind help to decide what is better!!

on purchasing a Dell inspiron 6000 laptop and it comes with 1 gig of ram, i will put more in it. But is it capable of running world of warcraft?

Ok well, i have a toshiba satelite L300 laptop, and it has certain drivers specifically like it… like the webcam driver ect.. I currently have windows vista home premium.

If i do i clean install with windows 7 , will it wipe all my drivers off of the laptop? if so…. is there a way for me to access my drivers on my laptop, and back them up on an external hard drive?

I have 1 gig of ram….Does xp mode on win7pro require more than that? how do i know if i have the virtualization stuff for my laptop to get xp mode to work?

Thanyou :]

is there a good laptop with a reasonable prize that can do gaming like world of warcraft good?
if so what?
and what fps?
and what games will it lay good

I tried spydoctor, but the program is not able to even start. I keep getting a pop up after every 10 seconds where it says that my laptop has been infected by spyware, internet virus, etc. Is there any other method to removing this thing?
