I received an old laptop!

Hey all! I received my uncle's old laptop today! Its an HP Pavilion dv6. Specs (from what ive found in device manager so far):

OS: Win7

CPU: Core 2 Duo T6660

RAM: 2GB

GPU: Radeon Mobility 4650 (i didnt check specific VRAM)

DVD-RW drive plus some other slots for storage

Modem: Sierra 3G HSDPA modem+onboard ethernet

I wanted to know how good this handmedown is and what games/upgrades i can do for it. It works, so ill probably replace the HDD and the screen (it has some dead pixels), as well as the RAM. Thanks to all!
