    Which Graphic card?

    I would suggest G53Jw or maybe G73Jh if you prefer larger display. Those two are the best for gaming, and much better than other laptops you listed

    Which Graphic card?

    GT 130M is horrible. It can not play any modern game at reasonable settings. GT 335M should run most of the modern games at medium settings, as long as the resolution you play at is not over 1366 x 768 Like I said before GTX460M and HD5870 is better than any of these two. Also, could you give...

    Which Graphic card?

    GT 130M is horrible and not good for gaming. So, you should avoid that You should get either GTX 460M or HD5870 which are the best out these video cards. I'm not sure if mobile HD5870 is faster than GTX 460 because mobile HD5870 is basically underclocked HD5770. So, it would perform worse than...

    if pc doesnt play latest games

    If the application can benefit from more than two cores, then your dual will run slower than a processor with more than 2 cores However, if you compare very fast quad core to a slow six core, Then things might be different. A fast quad core could beat a slow Six core processor even in...

    if pc doesnt play latest games

    If an application can use 6 cores or more, that doesn't mean that it won't run on quad or dual cores. The extra cores will be used for extra performance. i7 870 or 950 have faster core for core performance, and support Hyper-threading. Both of those could easily make up for the extra cores...

    The current i7 like 870 and 950 are already as good as AMD X6 in multi-threaded application, and faster in single threaded applications. So, even in application that use all the six cores in AMD X6 it will probably be slower than sandy-bridge. And in applications that use 4 or less cores, the...

    Initially they are going to release dual and quads only. However, the quad core version will be faster than any of the current quads, and it also faster than AMD 6 cores.

    Intel newer CPUs (Sandy-bridge) are going to be out in early January. So, I suggest that you wait for those before you upgrade
