That laptop has integrated graphics and is also quite dated. Even today's integrated graphics are sub standard. You would be lucky if you could play much more than Tetris. The overhead that Win 7 would place on that machine will likely be beyond its specifications. Run XP on it or upgrade the hardware. 64 bit Win 7 will certainly not play well on that machine. It requires 4 GB RAM to be useful though 2 GB will be enough to cover the basics. The CPU is a single core topping out at 1.73 MHZ with 2 MB of onboard cache. Sorry Dude but there is no way that this machine has the grunt to deliver a satisfactory Win 7 experience especially the 64 bit variant. Indeed the CPu has a 32 bit instruction set and therefore is not compatible with any 64 bit OS or software.

I'm new to forums, don't know right place to ask this, so . . . . .
Have a Toshiba M65, and want to upgrade the HDD from 150MB to 2TB.
Will it handle that, and is it a SATA drive that I need. Thanks heaps, from a New Zealand autumn (fall)
