Hi there
I am in need of desperate advice as I am going to buy a laptop and will be running 3d games on it.
Here is my delemma.
I know that when comparing ATI and NVIDIA, ATI always comes
up trumps and steals the show in the laptop arena, therefore
I have a simple question that I need answered before I can make my purchase.
Which system would you buy if you were me, base your decision purely for a gaming machine, please no "buy a desktop you idiot" comments thanks
System A
Dell 5100 2.66Ghz Laptop
XP Pro
512MB RAM
60 gig 4200rpm
64MB Radeon Mobility
15" SXGA
or
System B
Dell 8600 1.6Ghz
XP Pro
512MB RAM
60 Gig 4200
128 MB Gforce 5650
15.4" SXGA
I know the ATI 7500 out performs and kills its NVIDIA
counterpart, but would a 2.66ghz laptop running 64MB ATI, run faster, slower or the same as a 1.6Ghz laptop running 128 gforce 5650?
please help me
