will a 16 gb one be enough for gaming?

If you mean like playing backgammon, checkers, word search, dominos, etc I have no trouble playing these types of games.

It really depends on what you're looking for; i.e. what game(s) you're trying to run. I honestly don't know enough about specs to tell you whether the extra 2GB of video memory is worth the extra $60. My advice: go for the 4GB and you won't regret it.

This unit is used the same as an internal drive. I've never used it for gaming, but it should be okay except for the high-end stuff.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

There are a few that come with 16GB SDRAM already installed, but to get the gaming laptop that you want I would suggest going to Alienware.com. You can build the one you want from their site. However, if you're not that picky you should be able to find some good ones on Amazon.

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

16 gigs of Ram is way way plenty for gaming. 8 gigs is the optimal and as far as the speed of the ram which in this case is 1333Mhz is also plenty. If you want a crazy fast gaming rig, 8 gigs of this ram should be enough, get an SSD and a good graphics card.

I'm not a gamer so I couldn't say. Sorry. I think another review commented about upgrading the memory to use it for gaming.

A lot of newer games are going to require more VRam... Hence the 4GB vs the 2GB. If you want to future proof your computer, Stick with the 4 GB models.

i do not know for certain - however, i have a 16gb card in, and it is more than sufficient for my needs.

If you buy a external RAM card or go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259184 you probably can. 8gb is the max for gaming anyways, so don't really seems you need more (at least if you are going to use this PC for gaming).

This one will pretty much play any game out there on the highest settings as long as you have a modern processor and probably 8gb memory. In my opinion, if you're on a budget to where ~$100 matters, yes, this would be a better buy for now.

You should probably look up the manual.... the 16 GB (if I recall correctly) is not supported, only a maximum of 8 GB.

The seller should specify; it could be 16 or 32....if the seller does not specify I would assume 16 GB

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.

That all depends on what you are doing and what your OS is. If you have an x32 OS then the most the system can use is 4GB. If you are doing any sort of power gaming I would recommend more.
