RETADIN dangerous total posts: 180 since: Mar 2010	Jun 06, 10 at 3:53pm ^ Laptop Hardware Questions.(Which is better)
	Log in to remove this sponsored message Hey all, got some questions about which processors, video cards are better. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20GHz, AMD V series V120 2.20GHz, Intel Core i3-330M 2.13GHz or Intel Pentium T4300 2.10GHz Which is better? Or are they all good processors. Are the Intel Integrated graphics card(that are in a lot of HP laptops I find) a good line of cards? Will they work games like World Of Warcraft well? If anyone knows of any good laptops for running games like WoW or Call of Duty that are under 600$, feel free to post them. Thanks ^.^

	the i3 kicks ass amongst those processors. intel graphics are shit. they arent even real video cards. they are onboard and use your RAM as video memory. the same goes for all integrated cards. if youre looking to game on a laptop, you need a dedicated video processor, not an integrated/onboard one. -------------------

	Well the C2D 2GHz and the i3 (which is the better of the two) are both excellent for laptop use day to day. Plenty fast, but the Intel onboard graphics would probably play WoW somewhat but CoD would not run at all on it. For comparison, my laptop has a 9500M GS in it. After overclocking it with RivaTuner I was able to play CoD4 at 30fps at best. This wasn't even at the lcd's native rez. So if I were you and are looking to game, you might want to find a slower cpu that is paired with a much stronger video card if you plan on gaming. ------------------- Maximus V Gene* 3570K - 4.4GHz* XFX R7950DD* Mushkin Blackline 16384MB* Silverstone 850w* LG W2442PA* Intel 330 SSD & HDD's*

	i doubt alienware would be anywhere near affordable. quote So if I were you and are looking to game, you might want to find a slower cpu that is paired with a much stronger video card if you plan on gaming. exactly. almost all modern games rely heavily on the GPU, rather than the CPU. many people think that a faster CPU means better gaming, and tend to neglect the video card. -------------------

	You could always build one yourself and use the parts that Alienware use that would it would save you money but also have a high-end gaming laptop... -------------------

	its usually not worth building a laptop. it will in most cases, if not always, be more expensive than getting a prebuilt. its not as easy as desktops. -------------------

	My friend has an Intel Integrated Graphics Card and he was really disappointed when he tried to start up WoW one day...and found that his chipset was no longer supported. You can easily get some gaming laptops for under $1500 though. Mine was ~$1200 and has a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M and Core 2 Duo 2.53 Ghz with 6 GB of RAM. ------------------- Check out the Android Forum!

	That's because you really can't build laptops on your own. For desktops, it really is just about connecting the appropriate cords and saying viola! ------------------- Check out the Android Forum!

	quote RETADIN So, I know I'm bumping but I don't want to make a new thread, so... how does Laptop work for games like World Of Warcraft and Call Of Duty, etc. etc. It's integrated graphics similar to the intel, albeit slightly faster. It's not going to do well running the newer call of duty's and may run WoW just above the absolute lowest settings. ------------------- You look just like a zombie, inches from dead and pretty, With purple flowers in your hair.
