Is it true that laptops are always slower and less responsive than a comparable desktop with the same amount of memory and graphics? I have a 6 month old HP Pavilion laptop ZV6233nr with an "AMD athlon 64 processor, (2.0 GHz, 512kb 1.2 cache) 100 gig hard drive with DVD + R/RW and CD-RW combo drive with double layer support". It also says something about ATI 200 series video driver. My husband plays "military games" with helicopters/airplanes, and also racing games. Should this computer be ok for this? If not, who makes a good system for game play?

With an AMD athlon 64 processor and your system info, it should give you the ample leverage in running games. But it would definitely enhance your gaming experience if you opt for advanced processors like AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core or AMD Athlon 64 FX. AMD 64 FX is specially designed for gaming purposes, but is very costly. If you're a serious gamer, AMD Athlon 64 FX is well recommended.

the major problem with laptops for game play is the graphics. look for something with a dedicated video card insted if an intergrated one.

just add another 512mb ram and get a reasonable graphics card
geforce 6800 or 6600 will run the most demanding games.

Yes it sounds ok for all those games.....Usually you can get higher Ghz in desktop than laptops so they runs faster but youf configeration sounds ok....make sure to set cache level (if you are not pro please try it on your own)
