Thanks i could never tell was the trade of in processing power worth it. How would an Nvidia gt330m compare. This ones slightly more expensive but it has a better processor again?

Dell Vostro 3700:http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?b=&c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&kc=N4X37004&l=en&m_30=257969&oc=N0637S11&rbc=N0637S11&s=bsd

The xp mode in windows 7 professional would be handy too as i have some pretty old games i like playing as well.

Okay thanks do you think it would be worth paying an extra £100 or so for a studio 17 with a 5650m and a core i5 430 instead of the acer if i wanted to convert video files occasionaly? Or are the processors too similar to make a noticable difference?
