Title: Which Processor is Better?
Post by: m@DDm!k3 on February 16, 2009, 04:11:17 PM: AMD Athlon 64 X2 ex. 2.0Ghz
AMD Turion 64 X2 ex. 1.8Ghz
Intel Core 2 Duo ex. 1.8Ghz

I'm pretty sure that intel is better, but are the Athlon and the Turion good Alternatives?
Also off topic, but is a NVIDIA GeForce Go1650 a Decent card for gaming? i heard they suck on vista running with a GB of RAM and only like 30 FPS on Counter Strike with med setting?!?!?

EDIT: oops my bad i meant the graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce Go6150

Also, I'd go with the C2D, then 2nd would be the Athlon, then the Turion. Well, that's my opinion.

I'm also partial to Intel over AMD, though, lol.

Post by: PspKicks316 on February 16, 2009, 04:33:43 PM: Most laptops have integrated graphics, in which case, no. lol

Post by: loganbyers07 on February 16, 2009, 04:43:01 PM: I would recomend the intel. Oh and also the graphics card in your laptop is sometimes upgradable it is just not that easy. If you are going for a gaming laptop you need to look for something a little more powerfull.

Title: Re: Which Processor is Better?
Post by: PspKicks316 on February 16, 2009, 07:40:12 PM: Yeah...the 9 series is the highest laptop gpu I've seen.

You're generally not going to be able to replace it, as far as I know almost all laptops have integrated graphics. I've never actually seen one without.

Post by: H-Sauce on February 17, 2009, 08:51:05 AM: Yeah. You have serious balls if you're going to attempt to replace a laptops graphics card. I probably wouldn't even attempt a RAM upgrade lol.

Title: Re: Which Processor is Better?
Post by: Reaper on February 17, 2009, 10:00:38 PM: I see what he's saying, for less than half of the price of a gaming laptop you can get an awesome LanBOX. It's all up to if you want to spend the money on it or not...
Title: Re: Which Processor is Better?
Post by: loganbyers07 on February 18, 2009, 03:40:33 AM: And if you are willing to spend that much money, then go ahead and buy a macbook pro. It has dual gpus and one of them is a 9xxx series.

I agree for the price of a good Gaming Laptop you can get a Much better PC....
If you need a laptop for traveling its supposed to be LIGHT, small, and a large battery... But that my opinion.

Post by: m@DDm!k3 on February 18, 2009, 05:29:16 PM: Yea the whole point for getting a laptop is for mobility and it takes up space. like in my room I'm pretty sure i can't fit a whole desktop in there lol, little room. that's also why they're more expensive too because they have to pack so much stuff into one package. Also I'm not really a Mac guy I know i can replace it with windows, but i just like the comfort of a PC more
