Default Just bought!

So i just bought a laptop form hp because i seen they were having 400 off 1400 so i think i got a pretty good deal:

Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.40GHz)
Display 15.4" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
Memory 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Personalization HP Imprint Finish (Radiance) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth(TM)
250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery


this isn't intended for hard core gaming just multimedia pretty much, so hopefully it'll get the job done what you guys think, did i get a decent deal?

Yeah, i'd say you got a pretty good deal on that setup. The video card could have been like an 8600 but i'm not really all that up to speed on how much better that is from the 8400. You should be able to pull off some decent gaming with that system though.
