Forums - PC - My graphics card got fried so I'm getting a new PC or laptop

Oh! I forgot about Left4Dead, I'd definitely want something that could play that.

And actually, I think I am leaning more towards a PC now and Ben's right, it shouldn't take me long if I decide to build one myself. Though I do like the laptop rasone77 pointed out.

 

I don't think L4D is going to burn any system you get. Keep in mind it's running on the Source engine which is a pretty old engine at this point.

I can play TF2 and Portal (probably the same requirements) max settings on my gimpy 2nd system which is a 3500 AMD 1 gig of RAM and something like 8600 gfx card. Also it's AGP :P On my main system it doesn't even register a blip for resource usage. I'd worry more about StarCraft 2 or the higher end games (technologically speaking) coming out.

I wish I could help you find a laptop, but I've never kept up with PCs in that area.

i recently bought a Dell XPS 1530 with the GeForce 8600GT and I love it. the HDMI output rocks on the XPS, I play most my PC games on my 57" HDTV.
