Second Reaction Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I prefer it to be a laptop, I know close to nothing about what goes on inside my computer, Could someone please point me in the right direction, for a Laptop? Ive been leaning to Alienware not because all the cool overly expensive features but it seems to be worth the cash, Price Range around 1500,...and will power through games now and in the future Thanks for the help -Second Edited July 7, 2010 by Second Reaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the only thing I dont understand, Do you just add the two procesesors together because they are dual? Naw dawg....there are a few things that go into how fast a processor is. Forgot about "ghz" recommendation as that war is over. A single core on a 2.0 ghz AMD phenom II CPU is faster than a 3.8ghz Pentium 4. Reason being, ram speed, bus speed, CPU architecture the main reason. Just because its dual core doesn't make a 2.4 ghz CPU 4.8ghz. With multiple cores its basically like having a multilane highway. More lanes (cores/threads) you have, the more information that the CPU can take in. The CPU will only be able to take in as much as the program will allow, so if a game is made for a single lane highway (core), it's only gonna use that 1 lane (core) for the game. The benefit is the other cores resources will go to your background stuff. Multi-core processor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia if you really want to know. Most laptops are gonna run over 1500 for true "gaming" but a few mentioned here will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
