| Parokki said: I'm not too worried about now being able to run Starcraft 2. Blizzard is generally pretty cool with making their games run on less powerful hardware, and SC2 doesn't look like an exception. It's not like the computer I'm considering is especially weak anyway. All the other stuff is pretty good, what with the dual core processor and 3 gigs of RAM, and the graphics card is far from bad. ... wait, where you looking at the first or second one? I guess I should've updated the first post rather than making a new one that everyone would miss. =/ But yeah umm... looks like this computer is my thing. The major complaints here seem to be "lol Vista", "lol laptop", and "lol won't run Crysis on full settings", but none of that matters to me. I was asking mostly so I wouldn't do something completely idiotic like buying a computer without a graphics card, but looks like it's got everything I need. Expect a flood "OMG play TF2 with me!!!" and similar crap from me in the near future. =P |
I'd love to help more, but same with Ben, laptops aren't my expertise. If there is an 8800 available for laptops I would recommend upgrading the stock card to an 8800 at some point. Other than that it looks fine... oh and if you can you should probably downgrade to XP.
Games I'd recommend first are The Orange Box and CoD4 in that order. After that Bioshock (only $29.99 on Steam).
