That's a laptop. That means -5 points for me.

The processor is a very low end one, -1. The video card is quite weak, -1. It has Vista, -2.

I rate it 1 out of 10 for gaming. Laptops are not good for gaming, even the highest end ones.

I doubt you can upgrade anything besides the HDD (which is probably the best on that machine), if you really REALLY want to game on PC, you should look on building a desktop.

Stfu and gtfo.

I've used Vista since it came out and it's been fine. Sides, DX10. =P Any true PC gamer would be using Vista to run the most recent games.

Sorry, but my experience with Vista has been less than stellar, and that with a better system than the OP's ^_^

I think TigerDirect ships to Canada, you could get stuff from there.

I used Vista Beta and RC1 and have run it on my laptop and gaming rig since the day it released to retail.  Except for video card drivers for the first couple of months, I've had no problems with it whatsoever, even for gaming.  I just built two computers for my friend's music studio and against my advice, he wanted Vista.  I said he shouldn't get it because of all the cutting edge music software he's using.  (Cubase 4, Sibelius 4, Kontakt Player, etc.).  But even in that situation, everything is running great with zero problems. 

Vista is gaining steam as people are realizing that time and SP1 have fixed a lot of its problems.  Sales of the 64 bit version especially have all the sudden gone through the roof.  If you haven't tried Vista LATELY, you have no reason to complain about it.

EDIT:  BTW, recent benchmarks have shown there is now very little difference in gaming performance between XP SP3 and Vista SP1.  There is a small difference, but nothing you're going to notice in-game.
