That card is more then good enough. Better then my desktop =\

The X800 would turn a laptop into a pile of molten solder.

I was referring to the x300... do you guys think that it is good enough to play hl2?

looks like pretty good specs but i would NEVER buy a gateway.


you remember how they used to have that upgrade plan where after 2 years you can trade it it? well that because gateway makes garbage and it HAS to be replaced after 2 years.


i have an acer 4501wlmi

1.5ghz pentium M
512mb ddr400
40gb hd
dvd-+ burner
card reader
radeon 9700



my laptop plays HL2 with ease. I do want to upgrade the ram and eventualy get a bigger hd but so far this thing kicks ass.






###EDIT###

i just looked at the specs orf that laptop again and it uses pc2700. that is ridiculous for an AMD 64 laptop. AMD64 requires ddr400 to not be bottlenecked. that pc2700 is going to choke that thing to death.


they also didn't list battery life whch is a big deal with laptops. mine lasts on average of 3 hours while watching a movie or playing a game. it can run up to 5 hours doing other things.

^ has no idea what he is talking about



P4's in laptop's are battery wasters
P4-M's are just mobile P4's with some hefty power saving options
centrino is NOT a cpu it is a collection of hardware. its basicdally just a gimic. centrino is a P4-m with wireless
AMD 64's great in desktops not sure how good they are in laptops.

hum godsend you mean he doesn't have a idea on somethings. I dont know about a laptop but I would go with 64bit hands down (overclock it and water cool with a new 65bit waterblock) but again I'm talking about desktops

godsend actually isnt sure about something? is the world coming to an end?

well since we are talking about laptops not desktops you entire post was pointless.


you cannot watercoola laptop. and overclocking a laptop is asking for a $1500 paperweight

Overclock + Laptop = Portable Heater.

There really is no point.

dude kitch if you are stuck on top of a snow covered mountain a portable overclocked laptop may be all you have as a heat source.....just think of the efficiency......of course why you would take a laptop to the peak of a mountain is a very good question. One left for a different time.
