Help a brother out

[Inky]

Not sure exactly were this should go, so move if needed.

Anyway, recently I've been looking into laptops. I wouldn't want a new desktop because I want to be able to take this thing around with me. I've looked at HP, Dell, etc. and the only ones that are in my price range, either are just...kinda crappy, or their graphics card is crap.

But a few minutes ago, I found out about this guy. Just enter 't2a 6h7' as the postal code, and you can view it. Not bad, just wondering if the card's decent?

Re: Help a brother out

the card is integrated, i dont think its good, it probally wont run bf2, and it will probally run hl2 on all low, if it can at all.

You will probably have to shop from a vender like alienware or voodoo in order to get one with a replaceable video card to allow for upgrades in the future.

Ah, okay. So from what I'm hearing, I can't swap an intergrated card eh? I've started looking through Alienwares site, and although I haven't been looking long, their cards are Intel Extreme Graphics 2. 64MB's of pure...something

The Intel integrated chipsets are really crud.

Shizit. I can't afford one of the nice Alienware/Voodoo laptops either. This is crap...

Thats the problem with Laptops, if ya want something thats close to a desktops performance you got to be rich. Hopefully in a few years laptops will run equal with their desktop brothers. Until they do i'm gonna stick with my tower

Re: Help a brother out

Okay, I've looked into a desktop, how's this:

3.2GHz Pentium 4 Processor 640
1 GB RAM
128MB ATI Radeon X600 SE
160GB HD

Re: Help a brother out

I'd say that desktop should run BF2 on Medium settings pretty well.

Re: Help a brother out

Medium? Hell, I'm happy with the game running Low :). But thank you everyone for your replys, this has helped me out alot.

Re: Help a brother out

Not good enough to play it one high settings and it will stutter a bit I think

Re: Help a brother out

Oh, I meant like...well I didn't mean High, heh. Mediums just fine for me, even if it is a couple of settings.
