FT Gaming Computer Setup For Laptop / IMAC

Dont play too many games anymore.. The computer really could use a full reformat, its having some issues. There was a problem with the custom programming on my first partition so i was forced to reformat. Now when you restart the computer it asks if you want to start up using Windows 7 or Windows Vista.. If you use windows 7 the computer runs good. If you start up using Vista, it runs like crap, runs slow because the syncing and programming went all weird when i replaced some hardware.

The windows 7 partition is NOT a genuine copy.. You still can use it but it asks you to activiate every once and a while but its not a big deal.. So it would be better if you did a full reformat and wiped both partitions and started Fresh.

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Dual Core)
Asus P5B Deluxe Mainboard w/Dual Gigabit NICs
4GB Corsair XMS Memory
Antec Sonata III Quiet Case with Antec 500Watt Power Supply
MSI N9800 GT HD Graphics Card
Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 500GB SATA-II Drive
Samsung SH183L 18X DVD Dual Layer Burner
Sync the RAM dual channel at 667Mhz to match the FSB with low latency timings 4-4-4-12

Like i said the tower has some issues, but i use it everyday with minor problems. But it plays all new games Full graphics with no problems.

Computer comes with a 17" Sharp LCD monitor
Logitech 5.1 Surround Sound speakers with SUB
Logitech Wireless mouse and keyboard.

Im looking to trade for a mediocre laptop, or a IMAC ( doesnt really matter what specs ).

Thanks

I'll do the following to optimize the system:
