It's not your fault - it's a forum glitch they haven't been able to fix.
But you can delete the duplicate posts. Use the first edit icon in the lower right.
Find the check box that says Delete Entire Thread and that should tidy things up.
 
Thanks for your replies, I had looked at a couple of these, but didnt think the GT540M would be able to cope with BF3?
 
Thats really helpful thanks, also do you know if these laptops have the capability to upgradethe gfx card etc..?
 
They do not have that capability. Not like the easy upgrade ability of desktop PCs.
That same £800 budget would get you a great desktop deal for BF3 on high settings and probably, at least a 20" 1600x900 resolution LCD too, instead of a 15" laptop 1366x768 LCD.
 
While the GT 540M is considered a mid-range laptop graphics card when you compare it to desktop cards it's about as powerful as a desktop GT 430. Which has to be considered a low end, entry level card, costing about £50.
 
Sorry guys been on lunch...

I dont mind paying a little extra for more gfx power if need be, im just completely new when it comes to laptops....
