A: For gaming - meh. It is a SLOW computer (2.0 GHz isn't that fast) but the graphics card will run the games. So it will run the games just not at the highest settings. Vista is fine - it runs all the games you speak off. You don't need to go off and buy XP - if you are fine with Vista - most of the weird bugs everyone hollers about were fixed with SP1. I personally love Vista and have had no issues with it since SP1 came out. The sound is incredibly nice. But you may want to find a SLIGHTLY faster computer - that's the only thing I would recommend. The RAM and everything else is fine. But if you are okay with a slightly slow laptop - then go for it! My boyfriend's sister has a Toshiba that runs pretty well on similar specs - but she doesn't play games just uses it for school stuff. Hope that helps ^_^
