2 or 3Gb Ram

HDD from 120 to 250GB   
I don't know what one to buy???

ANSWER: Whats driving your specification requirements? A specific software application? What games are we talking about?

The Amilo is a great choice for upgraded graphics, as it offers a new product from AMD:

http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/home/products/notebooks/amilo_sa_3650.html

The other route I would suggest for gaming is a desktop computer (this may or may not be possible, depending on the other needs this system needs to fulfill).

QUESTION: Hi Bob

The Fujitsu Siemens SA3650 looks really good i also like the graphic Booster the kind of games i like -
Farcry 1 & 2
Battlefield
Sim City
Test Drive

I have been looking around where to buy the SA3650 i cant find any place who will sell it, do you know any websites or place who sell that laptop?

Many Thanks

Answer
I would contact Fujitsu-Siemens themselves to find a retailer in your area. Regarding game support, the graphic booster should be quite capable with all of those titles, with the possible exception of FarCry 2 (you may need to lower settings, although it will be playable).
