Laptop graphics card dliemma
Hey
I was looking to but an Asus laptop around the Aus$2000 price range. I have two ones im tossing up and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on which one would be better for games (i dont know much about computers, but i know any will handle my uni work![:)]( ":)")
They are both the same price Aus$2099 but i was wondering wheather 4gb ram > bit better processor and graphics card. Also is the graphics card on the one below dedicated ram or do i have to allocate it in the bios?
