Raining_again Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 How good is the graphics card in that computer? Integrated graphics Review in the link. You wouldn't expect a full on graphics card for that money.
flameboy Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 yeah I know...just want something capable of playing modernish games like GTA;SA for example.
thirtynine. Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Wait for the new asus eee if you dont want to play games, if you do, then its never going to happen.
Raining_again Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 yeah I know...just want something capable of playing modernish games like GTA;SA for example. Well okay, say for example... the Sims 2 (relatively modern game yes?) I have a £700 laptop with a 8600M GT graphics card. It can be quite laggy at times, and also takes a while to load up (I mean not a stupid amount of time but a considerable gap between it and my £600 desktop) Also the given fact of vista - it whores ram. I have 3gb, and half of it is used with MSN and FF running. Not necessarily a bad thing (better using ram than pagefile right?) but when you take into consideration that integrated graphics require space in the ram, it changes the whole perspective. Also integrated graphics cards wont actually allow you to run some games at all.
Marshmellow Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 yeah I know...just want something capable of playing modernish games like GTA;SA for example. On a £600 laptop I had a couple years ago with integrated graphics, and it was impossible to play SA on it. The frame rate was pathetic. Now this was a couple years ago yes, but integrated graphics suck and can't even play semi-old games like SA.
Luke Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 If it's at all possible get a desktop, then you shouldn't have much trouble at all!
