It's not terrible for a laptop. It's not amazing, but it's not horrible. Laptops aren't great for gaming anyways. I'm not sure exactly how good the processor is, since I'm not as familiar with AMD processors, but the graphics card is decent, and should run games alright. It's not amazing, but on a laptop it's not horrible.

May I ask, how much are you getting it for?

750.00, so what the problem with processor? Usually isn't it 2.4GHz

What the AVG processor thing then.

Its fine, honestly, if you want to game, it is the GPU you need to worry about, which I know for a fact you have been told on several occasions. As for your processor, its fine. Your GPU will bottleneck before your CPU does.

Everything's good; go for it if you want it. The GPU and CPU are just fine. Heck, I ran CoD4 on a 9600 and a 1.8 dual core w/o choking, so I don't think it will be much of a problem.
