Guest Screwd Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 VIDEO CARD 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce? 8600M GT It doesnt support Video Hardware Transform & Lighting. So you wont be playing much games. The hard ware is out dated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bournie Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 It's not outdated :) You have a quite good laptop, it will be enough for the most games when you put the details down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous1986 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 You wont be able to play crysis on medium settings, u'll have to put settings on low to achieve decent framerates 30+. If ur seriously interested in playing games go for a desktop. For the same price you could get a better setup and a better graphics card.

PvP Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 T7250 is good enough, but the more Ghz the better. 8600M GT isn't a bad GPU, but then again you should be looking out for a better one (let's say the 9600M if you can wait that long). Otherwise an 8700 or 8800 even. Good luck with you decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 your laptop is good, mine is very similar, with a t300 processor but only 2gb ram. i had the same worry that i would not be able to play crysis when i bought it, however it runs fine (for me, good framerates) on medium settings i.e. everything on medium. So with your 3gb ram it should be more than fine :) (*hint before i buy any game that i am slightly unsure of working i check it out on system requirements lab, great site) http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srl my laptop - acer aspire 5920g, (T7300 2.0ghz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB L2 cache), 2GB drr2 ram, geforce 8600m gt 256MB blutooth etc etc.. hope this helps, and make sure to update drivers, i use 169.09, works fine for all games so far :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deatheater Dewd Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks. I got this laptop but i added better stats. Like $400 more of adding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickk_61 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Kool bananas! I have the same one :O:O I would have steered away from 3 gig of RAM though... MEMORY 3GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM <---- cant run dual channel, because laptops only have 2 slots, and in order to run dual channel memory values must be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
