Laptop

[MG36CE Fan]

I am thinking of selling the following to get a new laptop:

eMachines W2047 Desktop:
AMD Athalon XP 2000+ 1.66GHz CPU
256MB DIMM RAM Memory
ATI Radeon 9200 Video Card
Creative Sound Blaster PCI512 Sound Card
Balance Digital Technology 17" LCD Monitor
eMachines standard W2047 Keyboard
Micro Innovations IOW 2200UP Wireless Optical Mouse
Micro Innovations VCI Wired Optical Mouse
eMachines standard W2047 2.0 Stereo Speakers

IBM ThinkPad 701C Butterfly Laptop:
all standard stuff +
IBM 1095 Credit Card-size Thernet II Adaptor (PCI)
Linksys WPC11 802.11b Wi-Fi Network Adaptor (PCI)

Acer America Extensa E610CDT Laptop:
all standard stuff +
U.S. Robotics USR 5410 802.11g Wi-Fi Adaptor (PCI)


and half my CD collection which totals 250 Compact Discs (the half of which I am sellign are all legit originals, the other half are also legit originals with backup copies incase I break the discs)

what exactly are BF2's supposed minmum requirements?

I am thinking of getting a laptop with the money I save up (preferably with a DVD+/-RW drive, DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo if not possible) so that I can clean up desk space, play/research etc. while I'm on the toilet and take with me on vacation trips/grandparent babysitting


are there any laptops (preferably 2004 or newer) that can run BF2 that are UNDER $1400?



EDIT: when I say "can run BF2" I mean can run BF2 with SF and EF, I dpn't care if it has bare minimal Audio and Graphics as long it can run it


top 10 so far:

01, Acer TravelMate 8103wi
02. Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T43
03. Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T42
04. Lenovo IBM ThinkPad R51
05. Winbook V120 Laptop
06. Acer TravelMate 4502LMi
07. HP Pavilion ZE2000z
08. Sony VAIO A600P
09. Toshiba Tecra M3
10. Toshiba Tecra M2

Re: Laptop

All you need to do is look for a laptop with a 6600 or X1600 GPU or better. That one you listed with a 9200 wont play BF2 very well at all. It might run it, but itll be choppy so you'll get your ass kicked online repeatedly.

It only has a 40gb HD and 512mb ram. Otherwise its good. My sony has that switching the graphics card off thing, and i use it all the time.

Re: Laptop

the Dell XPS M170 is NOT on my list of availability (I need something UNDER 1,500 bucks)

Re: Laptop

also, make sure you can get it with a 7200 rpm HDD. If you don't, the extra RAM for loading isn't really going to help you much.

you missed out on the M170 deal 3 weeks ago, they had it for $1349+tax
