I'm looking at an HP-Pavilion dv5-1099nr from Best Buy and I would like to know how much of a performance increase I will see from my current computer. The link is http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspag [...] 8097993447

Here are my current computer's specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1024MB RAM
Hard Drive: 40 GBx2
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)
Motherboard: Abit IS-10

Now with that rig which was created in 2005, I get aroun 60-80 fps in Counter Strike: Source, 50 fps in WoW, 80 fps in Call of Duty 4 (Moderate settings), and 125+ constant in Call of Duty 2.

Obviously the laptop is better, but is it worth the upgrade?

If you don't need the notebook I'd stay in the desktop world. If you're happy with your desktop's performance, don't get a new machine.
