    Default Is this a decent spec for gaming?

    OK so I'm considering buying/assembling another computer for gaming (been a long time), but before I do, I want to see if I really need to.

    Specs atm (it's a laptop so I can't upgrade much):
    - 4GB DDR2 SDRAM
    - 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
    - 200GB/5400rpm HDD
    - 256MB GeForce 8600M GT

    I upgraded to 4GB crucial from 2GB, but apparently for £8,243,2948 I can upgrade (unofficially) to 6GB.

    I'm looking to play next-gen games. Otherwise, is £400-500 enough to spend on a decent one?

    I'd take the £8m upgrade to 6GB to be honest. Bargain.

    A £400-500 desktop computer would easily out perform that laptop for games.
