Please don't say get a new one, this is very cheap and I can drop about 200 additional dollars into it. What upgrades would you recommend. And what is the fastest processor that I can put in without it causing heating issues on this laptop. i like the GFX card and the HDD could use more space but I can live with it. Also what OS should I install on this Windows 7 or XP here, thanks .
