Hello everyone, I am pleased to inform you as well as myself that I am purchasing a new laptop, in the dearest of hopes that my Second Life experience will at least be playable. With my current laptop it seems as if that would only be a dream considering the current specs are :
4GB Ram
AMD - Turion Dual Core - M520 (2.3GHz)
ATI - Mobility Radeon - 4200
I am looking to make the leap to :
6GB Ram
Intel Dual Core i5 Processor (2.66 GHz with overclocking at 3.33GHz) OR an i7 640M (2.80Ghz with overclocking at 3.46GHz)
ATI - HD Mobility Radeon - 5650
All of this is achievable, but my questions are
Will it be enough to run at least MEDIUM settings on Second Life without a problem? As in as fast as some of the videos are promoting the game?
Should I go with the i5 dual core processor of the i7? Is there that much of a difference other than extra money?
If you are also wondering, this laptop is a Sony Vaio that I am purchasing.
