I am looking to buy a new laptop. It will be used as desktop replacement. It will be used for playing games mostly (WoW), listening to music, burning dvds, etc. I would like the following: Dual core 7200 minimum 512 mb video card at least 100 gb 7200 rpm HD 2gb ram dvd burner 15-17 inch...

Actually, I was beginning to think it might be one of the memory slots on my mobo, so I moved memory around (this made me not use dual channel though). It helped some but still not stable. The new video card came in, 6800gt, so i installed it. Ran better, more stable, but games crashed still...
