dirty bastard Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Hi I'm thinking about buying a laptop computer, unfortunately I can't buy a desktop since I move around too much. I want it to have enough power to play games in it. But I’m a little confused on what should I buy. I found this site where they are selling a notebook with a 2.0 GHz P4 processor with 512MB RAM and an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500 with 64MB memory. On the dell site I can buy one for a similar price, a 1.7 GHz P4 processor with 512MB RAM and an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 or for $40 less with a 64MB DDR 4XAGP NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go. I want to be able to play most of the recent games especially Battlefield 1942. · Is CPU power is more important that GPU power? · Is the ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500 a good card or should I go with the more expensive MOBILITY RADEON 9000? · Or maybe I should go for the 64MB DDR 4XAGP NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go Any comment or advice would be appreciated.

Psionic Jedi Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 CPU power is much more important than GPU power. I have a 600mhz P3 and a Geforce 4 MX420 64mb (never mind the MX ) and though the graphics are nice, I still get alot of slowdown. I may be a bit biased about ATI v Nvidia, so I won't answer your Video card question. *cough* Nvidia *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I would get the 9000 because it would give your notebook DX 8 capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
