I need your assistance, is it OK for the ram to be bigger than speed in GHz, I mean can I have a ram of 4GB and a speed of say 1.8Ghz? Will it slow my system the more because the system is already slow and i intend to increase the ram from 1.28GB to 4GB. Thanks a bunch.

Total available graphics memory = 1674MB or 1.674GB
Dedicated graphics memory = 32MB
Dedicated system memory = 0MB
Shared system memory = 1642MB or 1.642GB

Is this good enough for games like pes2014/Pes2015/Fifa 2015

How much do you have to offer for what you need?
PURPOSE/INTENT OF USE
What will your laptop be used for?, are you a rocket scientist interested in astrophysics research? or are you a molecular biochemist finding the cure to cancer? are you a lawyer that reads tons of documents? Is your line of work highly dependent on visual communication that will demand intensive graphics resources of your machine? or are you just the average that focuses on work files, surf the net, play some good music and watch some movies if at all work grants you the time and convenience?
AFTER SALES SERVICES/CUSTOMER CARE?
Who do you run to when your screen displays "the blue screen of death"? or when your machine gets annoyed and refuses to perform the purpose for which it was purchased? you not interested in acquiring a PhD degree in computer engineering you just want you computer working at all times and not spending half of your day fixing bugs and patches! so it is wisdom to only purchase from accredited dealers, distributors, online retailers that can guarantee you at least one guaranty in case of any damage during the period.
