The question is obvious. Desktop. Build your own Nothing is future proof. AMD socket 939 will be replaced by M2. SOcket 775???

I have an 18 month old gateway laptop with an ATI 9600 video card. It was top of their line. I'm finding that even with the newest ati catalyst driver installed that it locks up regularly on BF2 and Guild Wars. I am thinking of getting a new computer. Do you think the laptops of today (ie. alienware, dell) are going to eventually have the same issues and should I just get a desktop instead (ie. velocity, alienware)? For gaming which is the better path even though I like compact I can compromise on that for reliability and prolonged lifespan and upgradeability. Thank you. -N
