Wow, your laptop has a lot more graphics memory than my laptop (only 32 MB), yet it's only a bit under three years older. My laptop seems so outdated now. :(

My mom got a new laptop for Christmas, and here are the specs.

Dell Inspiron 1501 with 15.4" WXGA Widescreen Display
Purchased Late November - Early December '07

AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 (1.8GHz/256KB) Dual Core
processor

Windows Vista Home Premium

2 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz

80GB SATA Hard Drive

Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini Card (54Mbps)

This computer is MUCH better than my laptop, despite the fact that my laptop is only a few months old. This new laptop has a Dual Core processor, 2 GB of RAM (this thing is going to FLY), and Vista Home Premium, which means it has Windows Aero (but the standard theme on Home Basic (which I have on my laptop) is basically Aero without the transparency), and Windows Media Center. I'm jealous. :P
