my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

ight ------s, i broke down and bought a new laptop....its a dell, my bros had a i6000 for the past year with no problems whatsoever, plus they come with pretty decent vid cards in pci slots so they can be interchanged, only with the right ones, but anyway its a e1505 pentium .8ghz 2mb cache,533fsb, 1gig of dual channel 533mhz 2dimm,60 gb 7200 rpm hard drive, and an ATI x1400 256mb hypermemory videocard, my question is for 30 bucks more i can get the nvidia go 7300 256mb, anyone used either one of these cards b4? need help deciding in a hurry, its already ordered i have until the 26th to change it b4 it ships. thanks. also if anyones lookin for a new laptop its a sick ass deal, ---- i even got a carbon fiber quick snap cover for it for 900 shipped. just type dell rebates in google and get dell coupon codes, 30% off owns..

r dual core processors worth it?

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

dont expect to be playing any real games on that thing.

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

I think the hypermemory means its sared which is garbage. Definitely go with the nvidia, but like someone else said, you're not going to be playing any serious games with that thing

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

Doesn't really seem to be all that great of a deal.

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

yeah you'll need it too with a dell (from my experience, not discrediting others)

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

The new Intel CoreDuo's are baddass. Deff. a whole new processor compared to the ginormo-clocked P4's etc.
My laptop in a 1.86 Pentium M, and I was supprised at how fast it was compared to my Athlon 3000+. Clock for clock the the new mobile pentium stuff is on par/exceding the Athlon stuff. IMHO of course.

Also, Id rock the Nvidia card over any shared memory card.

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

I recently got a Dell laptop with a Core Duo, it's alright.

Re: my fellow computer geeks!!!! need your help fast
 

wont play any games? my ass, all over i read and hear about people playing bf2 n ---- i wasnt even expecting the out of it, even the nvidia card is shared, its like 128 dedicated and 128 shared, notebookforums alot of people say it benchmarked high or some ---- over the nvidia and its rated as a mid range card, the nvidia is the least.

Get an x1600 minium, and the reason your dell is ----, is the mortheboard was made in my basement. Get an Ibuypower knockoff if your cheap and at least want 20 minutes of gaming goodness.

You can also go to the business part on the Dell site, and make up a name for your fake small business. They run specials all the time, I got my "small business" laptop for $200 less than the same computer on the consumer side.
