Display monitor:
17.0" diagonal WXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1440 x 900)

Memory: 3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)

Graphics Card: 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Hard Drive: 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

Personalization: Webcam + Microphone

Just hoping to get some feedback on how well this system will perform with modern games.

What does your RAM look like? You should atleast have a 2GB of it. I have four and I havent run into any problems. Only thing i suggest you look into is having 32 bit vista. I run on a 64 bit like you want and I run into problems with installing games using this version of Vista. Although 64Bit may be better, there seems to be less bugs with the 32

I agree with 32 Bit being more accepted
But everything is moving to 64Bit Minimum
I believe best to stay with 64Bit ie: for today and tomorrow's games.

Also your Ram (Memory: 3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
I would suggest 2x 2 Gig of Ram Minimum for Vista 64Bit

Well I have 3.5 incuding the graphics card.

No make it 4Gig + 512Meg Graphic Card (ie 4.5Gig, including Graphic card)
I've said my peace
