Ok so after christmas i am going to be purchasing a laptop...
I am wondering what i can get for under $1000 that will run fiesta smooth.
Any suggestions on stuff like RAM and Graphics cards and processors?
I was thinking either pentium dual core processor or core 2 duo
and 2 GB of ram? Also with at least any type of graphics card cause alot of them just come with integrated video graphics...
Anyways thanks for the opinions :)

Look for an ASUS :D
If you have a choice, compare the videocard on hardware forum, that could help.
DELL is a good mark if you can afford the support and the duration limit on their battery ROFL
