thanks for any help you can offer
 
Howdy,

Unfortunately that laptop has an Intel graphics solution, not an ATi or nVidia one. You should look for a decent one of the 2 latter names. Try also to look for a bigger HDD.
 
Photoshop yes, although Counterstrike may be a tad too intensive for the graphics solution to really be playable at decent settings, if at all.
 
since im getting it from HP i have only a few options:

Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 950 - Celeron

Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 950 - Core

256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400
 
get a core 2 duo with this graphics solution 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400 and atleast 1gig of ram.... should be all set to play counter strike.... :)
