Wildcat Furse Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Heya Love, it will be ok, but if you want to use high graphic settings I would opt for an i7 processor ....the graphic card looks otherwise good to me ..... *meows* :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansariel Hiller Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Why for God's sake is everyone buying a laptop for highly intensive 3D applications? I'd recommend a normal desktop PC - has less problems with overheating thus less problems with failing hardware and has a better performance per money ratio! :smileysurprised: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Furse Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 desktops are soooooo handy ..................*meows* :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansariel Hiller Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 That thing is obviously a laptop as the guy is carrying the computer around! :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansariel Hiller Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Conclusion: Better buy a desktop computer instead of a laptop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clarence Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think you will spend money and in the end not be happy with the screen resolution. Much higher resolution would allow you a better experience both in normal computing and SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hello Wildcat! The graphic card is the only scruple i have. The other seems ok and better than the recommended system requirements. Ok i don't want something special, just to be able to play without problems. About your pic i have to say that's i couldn't imagine better solution especially for the summer!

LoveAngeL Lyre Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am totally agree that a desktop PC is better for SL and generally for all 3D games / applycations, but i have a very very good desktop already, with Nvidia GTX, 23'' monitor which is fast like a bullet. I have my graphics to high and never i felt lag even in regions full of people About the cost of that laptop now i consider that it is logical, when i can find in my country with 599 euros.

LoveAngeL Lyre Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 My first goal Storm is to avoid frozen screens and generally to play without problems and also to buy a laptop economically with a graphics card over the average and compatible with SL. Sure the screen resolution is not the best but i need almost the double money to buy a laptop with better one. So i will enjoy better quality with my desktop PC.

Rhonda Huntress Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 i3? Otherwise it looks solid. I would look at getting an i5 with a minimum 2GHz FSB and it should only cost a few dollars more. Win7 32 bit? If you have the option I would pick the 64 bit version UNLESS you have an older printer or some other device that does not have 64 bit drivers out. There should not be a price difference now but buying 32 bit OS now will mean upgrading later will cost more. More RAM, for instance, will do no good since 4 GB is the maximum 32 bits can address. Since a few chunks of that are reserved for system resources you will not even get to use all of the 4 you have. So .... upgrade to 64 bit version of Win 7 if you can. @Ansariel, There are a wide number of reasons but most boil down to the reason laptops exist anyway: portability. On the train, in the back yard, take it to work with you, take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveAngeL Lyre Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello Rhonda. Eventually i purchased it with Windows 64-bit I downloaded the program, installed it and run it without any problem and without making any change with settings in computer. I set my graphics to Ultra just to check it out and this moment i am in a region with 50 people and everything seems ok. I haven't any difficulty or delay when i move, i TP or i rotate my camera while i have also other applications opened. I 've been at 4 busy regions till now. My FPS is arround 15, (with my computer is always and everywhere over than 30) the lower limit to move confort. I guess that if i set my graphics to High or Medium my FPS will be increased. I am very happy because with just 599 euros i got a laptop with which i can play SL no of course with the highest quality but for sure (as seems till now) without any problem. If someone needs a cheap laptop as second choice beside to a better desktop, i strongly suggest a laptop with the features i reported at my first post here and with the same graphics card.
