Hi guys first post, I currently own a HP dv6000 notebook with a
AMD Turion 64, dual core processor
2 GB DDR2 memory
256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7200 card and a
160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

Now its not the fastest computer and annoyes me a couple times a day, but my question is that I just switched my major to computer information systems and wondered when I start programming and running all these programs on this notebook if it will be able to handle it or if you guys think I should upgrade? Thanks guys

That should handle it fine

Programming? Text based editors have very low system requirements, you'll be fine.
