Exclamation My laptop, Need advice
Reply
Posted 2005-05-10, 01:11 AM
I bought this labtop today:

Gateway - 518 Notebook with HT Technology

Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 518 with Hyper-Threading Technology, 533MHz frontside bus, 1MB L2 cache and 2.8GHz processor speed

512MB PC2700 DDR memory for multitasking power, expandable to 1.25GB

60.0GB hard drive

Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 with 32MB shared video memory; built-in stereo speakers


Anyway, the labtop was only like 900 bucks. The worst part is obviously the graphics card though.

I am going to use this labtop for 3 purposes, watch DVDs, burn CDS, and play games. So I am going to have like 50 gb to fill up with games to install.

What are the best games I can isntall that will work for this labtop? The video card has 32 megabytes shared video and it actually meets requirements for Morrowind, do you think it would be possible to play that game on the labtop? I want you guys to throw out names of games that will work on this cpu that I should install. I want to put all the games I can on it that work and then if there are still more games, ill burn them to cds and still be able to play them from there.

So make a quick game list for games I should install on my labtop for me.

I liked Playing Battle Field 1942 it was pretty fun and a different type of FPS it relied more on strategy and aim than just speed and spraying as many bullets as you can.
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.

Did you even read his post? I highly doubt that HL2 would be worth playing on that comp if it worked at all.

Yeah, HL2 is a bit extreme.

Gimme some ideas WW =0 I know Deus Ex but what else.

The battlefield games are cool. The new gta game might be too good but I might be able to look into vice city or just gta 3. I also want to throw on GTA 1 and 2 just because they are fun to mess around in too.

Its going to be nice having a computer just filled up with like the best games from the last couple years (Except the really graphic ones like hl2 and doom 3).

I didn't know if he was going to eventually upgrade the card or not. I guess not.

Maybe Ghost Recon as well.
Homeworld.
Age of Empires.
