I am going to buy a notebook for some gaming, word processing, dvd watching, internet, burning, ect. Basically a little bit of everything. Please help me decide. Very important decision for a computer that will last a while. Here are the laptops.

Compaq Presario:
AMD Athlon 64 3400 2.2GHz
1GB of memory
100GB Hard Drive
DVD
