Okay last question sorry, I can get a HP with a AMD A10-4600M accelerated processor - 6GB Memmory- 750GB Hard Drive- And AMD Radeon 7660G DISCRETE for about 100$ less than the one with the 8650G. Would this be to big of a down grade in your opinion, are you think this is fine? From what Ive seen the 8650G seems to be slightly better but Im not really sure. Thanks for the help.

Both of those graphics are integrated into the CPU. They are not discreet (aka dedicated) cards. They don't have their own fast memory like discreet cards have, but share the main memory with the CPU. Anyway Radeon 8650G appears to be a bit faster one of those two.

Have a look here:

PS.

Some tests show that those cards can play some games with mid to low graphics settings. However you need to bear in mind that games are optimized for good performance. Second Life is totally different beast with its non-optimized user created content. Thus Second Life is much more demanding for the computer graphics processing power than any typical game is.

 

Using the above CPUs with integrated graphics to run Second Life will not be a very pleasant experience. You really would need a laptop costing 1000 USD or more for better smoother performance.
