Well, of course, but I'm sure it's nothing like a PC.

When we are slow at work, and I have time to play on this site, it never fails for me to see this:

Please wait a few moments and do not click refresh immediately, as that will only increase the wait time.

You will receive this message when the load on the server exceeds an admin specified value.

If you are receiving this notification at 10am ET or 10pm ET, it is likely that we are performing an automated database backup. This process is server intensive and takes a few minutes to complete.

Well, each person has different tastes in games....This one is addicting. Might wanna be careful.

Again, it's an older game, but it's great.

If it's good it's good, game play hasn't changed much in the last 10 years, only graphic rendering. I still like to play the very first Rainbow 6

Vista comes with a good ATI driver already plus the windows update will take care of any furth updates with solid (as microsoft can get) drivers.

Ok if the video plays on his computer he don't need new codecs. But....I would go ahead and get the latest K-Lite mega codec pack to cover all your video bases.

newegg.com is a good place to go. You might want to do a little research on Sony's Vaio support site and find out the type of memory they recommend as well as where to put it. Some laptops have one slot under the keyboard and another slot on the bottom of the laptop. If your already familiar with laptop hardware then you know what I'm talking about but if not, it will help to know how many mem slots you have and where they are. I would suggest maxing out the memory in your laptop. Vista will use it all and still come back for more.
