I need advice! stupid laptop.

For $4800, I could build six, yes 6 great gaming rigs. You must have been ripped off, or went with the latest and greatest intel along with the best graphics card(s). Did you go SLI on the video card? Intel or AMD cpu? I'm guessing you went intel, considering they charge a fortune for their newest/fastest cpu's, we're talking $1000 for just the chip.

What are the specs of your computer?

BTW, here is a link to a great computer forum. You will probably get a better response there:
