Laptop that can run BF2?

[fighterpilotx]

hey everyone, im looking on purchasing a new laptop. I need a laptop that will be able to run high performance games like BF2. However I don't want to have to shell out a whole lot of cash for one. Basically, im looking for a laptop which has a good graphics card and and can run games like BF2 but isnt too much.

Well, if you want to run bf2 on high settings, you will need to shell out around $1100-1200. I would say the cheapest places to buy from are Dell (use the $325 dollar coupon), which is where I got my 1520 for $1100, or try www.cyberpowersystem.com, which I've read good things about. You will not be able to buy a good gaming laptop from HP, Apple, Sony for under $1600. As for specs, you will need at least 1 GB (and probably 2), a duo CPU with at least 1.5 ghz/processor, and a high end notebook card, which are not always the same as their desktop counterparts of the same number (also, a higher number does not mean a better card and the amount of RAM a card has is much less important than the clock speeds). Check out this website for more info on GPUs and notebooks in general: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=39568 The upper end performance cards and above will work. If you need to spend less, possibly look on ebay for an old Inspiron 1700 with the 7900 go gfx card.

First post ever, woot.

if you want complete compatibility with most games, make sure to get a laptop that has a graphics card / chip made by nVidia or ATI. do not get intel graphics.

If you can try to get a 7200 rpm HD. Much faster. Oh yeah, you may want a notebook pad cooler too. I'm waiting until xmas when the real discounts come on
