No clue what that is lol
Re: New lap top - cloakster - 02-23-2008
That is a great deal, but the problem is that the CPU is going to be a HUGE bottleneck to the laptop. The graphics card is awesome but the CPU is too shity for you to ever know the power of that Go 8800 GPU.
Since you cannot build your own laptop, i would still say that its a great deal
Edit: Is sa-mp the only game that you will be running on this comp? If so then this is way too powerful for GTA SA.

You're a 13 year old blonde girl, what do you know!
Seriously though don't get a mac.

(02-23-2008, 06:33 AM)that...website link Wrote: 3GB PC2-5300 DDR2 memory for multitasking power; 667MHz frontside bus, 2MB L2 cache and 1.67GHz processor speed
(02-23-2008, 06:33 AM)that...website link Wrote: NVIDIA GeForce Go 8800 GTS graphics with up to 512MB discrete GDDR3 video memory; HDMI connection; high-definition audio (2-channel support)Both those features will run the game *easily* and smoothly, and fps lag will be a thing of the past.
However, I personally find it cheaper to go to one of those asian foreigner stores, where the employees are fresh off the boat making good progress learning English, pick the parts you need and get the nerds staff there to assemble it.
You can save a lot of money, but it is important you know the parts (or have them written down) before hand (get info on good parts here, or off some nerdy friend), otherwise you'll ask them what good parts they have and you won't understand a word, because it'll be half chinese and half nerd-speak. 0% understandable.
If money's not an issue, then you can buy that laptop and paypal me $400 for my humourous response, or you can save a few hundred dollars buying from one of those shops mentioned above.

Building your own computer is EXTREMELY EASY
and Erin was looking for a laptop, not a desktop.

Plus side to that is that if your neighbours have powerful wireless internet you can leech a bit off them
Unfortunately in my case, I'm one of those neighbours, so I commonly look outside my window to see circles off little 'foreigners' playing warcraft.

Is there any specific reason that you need a laptop compared to getting a desktop?

Then why not put a WEP key on your wireless internet and solve that problem?
