I didnt no wether or not this was the right section but yeah ok.

I ordered the Dell XPS m1530 and is due to arrive very soon indeed!


Specs

Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2GHz, 800 FSB and 2Mb Cache Processor
160 Gb 7200 RPM HDD
4Gb @ 667Mhz RAM
nVIDIA Geforce 8600M GT


I was jus wondering which 1 of those would be the bottleneck for gaming.
Games specifically that im gonna be playing the most are

Rome Total War + Barbarian Invasion + Alexander
Medieval 2 Total War + Kingdoms
Football Manager 2009 with 3D Match View On

So how well will the laptop cope nd will i be able to run the Total War games on High at least with Shadows Off and AA on and at least x2 AF?

If you can help me, it wud be much appreciated! Thank You

Those are all fairly CPU limited games, but you should be fine. What resolution is the screen?

At that low of a resolution, you won't be challenging your 8600. Most of the work will be done by your CPU, which is sufficient for those titles.
