It is a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook.

The specs:
Coe2Duo T6600 2.2Ghz, L2 2MB
Memory 4096MB DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB dedicated DDR3
Resolution 1366x768 // 15.6"
With Windows 7 home premium (64-bit)

Also the hard drive is 5400rpm will there be a big difference (boot time and such) if i would buy a 7200rpm HDD?

I am going to spend a fair bit of cash on this notebook so i would really like it to handle the new games coming out (mid level details is enough).
 
HD 4650 is a mid range VGA and can handle games on medium settings,also if the $ difference between 5400RPM and 7200RPM isn't much then go for the 7200 RPM,u will see faster boot times
