It's got:

P4 3.2Ghz HT CPU Should this run at 800FSB?
512Mb RAM
60Gb HD
ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP with 8x AGP with 128mb shared memory Is this okay for 3D gaming?
DVD+RW burner
15.4 WXGA TFT Widscreen
and all the other goodies

It also comes with a bonus HP IPAQ 4150 Pocket PC.

Should I go for it?
Is this setup a good all round performer?

That video will not be to good for gaming. Look at the regular Ati Radeon 9000 card reviews. It is less than a 8500 in most things. So, I would not get that if it was for gaming. Unless you don't run at 1024 or higher resolutions or AA or anything like that. I remember seeing a nice eMachine with the A64 3000+ with the Radeon 9600 graphics. Now that would be good for gaming. I am sure there is a good Intel gaming laptop out there if you have to have Intel.

I currently have a toshiba satellite 3000 which I'm giving to my sister. It has a Geforce GTS Go graphics card fitted. Would I see much improvement with the ATI radeon 9000 over the geforce go?

I don't plan on running AA enabled and I can turn down the graphic details, as long as it looks decent and runs smoothly.

It's not going to be my main machine, it'll be upstairs as a LAN machine and I wanna get into the wireless thingo.

You should think about moving this thread over to the SFF/Notebook forum. You may get a better answer over there.
