What is more important if im going to use my laptop for gaming and multimedia(movie,music, internet) purposes mostly ? Ive been told processor, graphics card, memory etc a lot of stuff, well what is more important for my usage?

I wouldn't buy a laptop for gaming, the video cards there are just no built for the demanding graphics. That's not too say you can't play em, just I wouldn't buy a laptop to play them.

But to answer your question, I think video and memory subsystem and hard drive in that order, I think CPU's are typically fast enough to keep up and the bottlenecks are the video, memory and hard drives.

I have a personally built pc for heavy online gaming purposes, but I would only do light gaming on the laptop, like just a few games......What does everyone else think ?

This is the exact order:

1) Graphics Card
2) Memory
3) CPU
4) Burdiet

Everything else doesn't matter too much. Those are the big four.

Also, get the highest speed harddrive you can, i.e. 7200rpm.

First why are you using a laptop for gaming???????? If thats all you have or thats all that you want to get then.....

1) the top thing will be a graphic card or GPU a must...
2) memory you can never have enough........
3) hard drive at least for storage....
4) CPU any thing over a gig should do you..

But if you want to game hard core either get an sony/xbox or get an windows machine with the above list in order.... Mac's are great but for the top of the line games ....... well they come out later than the windows machines.... about 6 months later........

So to wrap up things if you have to have the latest game get something other than a mac.... but if you just want to play some good games that have great graphics make sure you get a good GPU first........

hope this helps

1) Crush your enemies in battle.
2) See them driven before you.
3) Listen to the lamentation of their womenfolk.

Well, you asked.
