On a laptop, even if the thing is plugged in I think the danger is far more to the hardware than you. My laptop is relatively beefy (for something with a non-Nvidia GPU ), and its power pack is only capable of delivering 70W. I think I'd have to tr…

As Quiz said, there's really no way to justify that entire budget on a single-monitor system, short of special requirents (say, a really nice sound setup, for instance, and even then...). You don't even have to spend some of what's been spent …

Yeah, it sounds like you're not really going in the right direction. If you're not a gamer in general but looking for a sandbox MMO, then shooting for TOR is bad both because it's anything but, and because it's intensive enough (for an MMO at …

OP, as others have noted, your CPU is just fine for running TOR. My mobile 1.6ghz i7 has no issues (and despite being an "i7", isn't any kind of extraordinary CPU), and far more importantly, I asked my friend running a Core 2 Quad Q6600 what k…

The above poster has a point; having hands-on help is a big plus. It's too bad you live on the west sideof TN; I'm just a quick hop from Johnson city

I'm absolutely shocked that that PSU hasn't exploded on you. Yes, you need both connectors, but it doesn't matter, because you need a new PSU anyways, badly, to the point that I wouldn't even risk running further games until you do replace the…

I have to say, that's a very impressive price for that card. I don't know, it almost seems like the OP might be able to squeeze by on that PSU if there isn't a lot of money to spend (of course, replace it if the money is there). I mean, I can'…

This survey shows exactly what it should, especially on a game sight. Most users are using 4-8GB. 4GB is more than enough, but 8GB kits are so cheap, there's no reason not to get them for new machines.

OP, after turning shadow quality all the way down (off?) I had no trouble running the game fluently on my Mobility Radeon HD 5730. Perhaps you could do the same. The GPU is certainly less powerful than most 4000 series desktop GPUs.

DOH! ECC Memory, that explains it. ^_^; A 4GB ECC-capable DIMM can still be had for less than $50, but at least the price is just slightly high now, instead of absurd. Yeah, that's not what you buy for desktops. Desktops don't need the error…

Umm, that RAM is NOT worth $100, and there really isn't a justification for it. 8GB kits of 2x4GB DDR-1333 DIMMS go for about $30-$35, not $100. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611 600006050 600006069&am…

Another set of sliders, allegedly from AMD (being reported by a different site) seem to more or less corroborate the performance claims from Tom's Hardware, though it's hard to tell exactly, since they've only given tesselation performance (not exac…

It's a really new game (a few people are in the early start and that's it), but from what I saw in beta, yeah, you should have no trouble running it, but you will be running it at pretty low settings.

Originally posted by eycel Alot of people use this as an excuse about laptops,"oh there just way to expensive". This is why I always explain to nvidia fanboys that there products being way overpriced ruins the market at least in mobile sector ca…

Originally posted by NiteSkie Bleh, I would never say that. What I said was that the performance is basically a 6870. With my sligh OC it matches the 6870. You were saying it only matched a 6850, which it does not, even at stock clocks it is …

Originally posted by NiteSkie Well since not one of those posts in any way addresses the claim that people might find use for gaming laptops, a considerable portion of your initial post, I guess the correct answer is no. What do I win? S…

Originally posted by NiteSkie So there you go, Catamount. Did I satisfy your requirements? Well since not one of those posts in any way addresses the claim that people might find use for gaming laptops, a considerable portion of your initial …

Originally posted by NiteSkie Good God, people talk out of there asses here more than anywhere I've ever seen. Really? That's funny, because I can't find a single post in here that actually disagrees with anything you've said. Perhaps you cou…

Originally posted by eycel A 550m is a very powerfull graphics card indeed, and at resolutions of 1366x768 that card will score over 10k in 3dmark06 My G80 Geforce 8800GTS could do that too, but that doesn't mean it's a fast card by today's sta…

Originally posted by Gabby-air Yeh it is a rather weird situation, the problem with me being able to test the PSU is though that if I put another PSU in the system it voids my warranty so maybe I'll just take it to the store and let them figure o…
