ok first of all, I'd like to thank all the past and present helpers that have answered my questions. So here's more [yay?]

Ok so my brother asked to borrow my netbook while I was away for 2 weeks [not really a good idea] he started downloading a game onto my netbook which I strongly advised not to... since I use my netbook mostly to type drafts for my university essay papers. After a while... the netbook just shutdown by itself and my brother... well kind of left it there while I was away for 2 weeks. I turned it back on by doing a hard boot [don't know if that's a proper term - by plugging a direct powersource and connecting to another computer after replacing the battery idk how to explain it but It just worked o_o]

[sorry for the long post but I didn't want to leave out any details]

I decided to buy a new netbook and just give my old one to him. So I'm just wondering what major and minor upgrades do I need to make it compatible with the game he wanted to play? [had to pay $720 for a new one with the backup and stuff since therez no optimal drive againT-T]

I know netbooks aren't really meant for GAMING [glares at my brother] but if he is going to get loads and loads of problems + viruses, etc. and leaving it there, itz better to give something used and old rather than to buy him a new laptop instead of a netbook.
