I am looking to get a good gaming computer. I was hoping to get a good laptop so I'm not stuck at a desk, although I'm not exactly planning on traveling the globe. It seems as far as the video cards go I'm looking at 4GB(Desktop) or 1.5-2 GB (Laptop). Will 1.5 GB video card be enough to play computer games lag free (assuming the internet doesn't lag). Its looking like I'll have 16GB ram either way, and an i7 processor.
Also what is the difference between a solid state hard drive and a regular eSata?
The main things I want to achieve with this computer is smooth running gaming, possibly a little work here and there (excel/word). I may also use it for streaming video but not going to go near any adult web-sites or peer to peer downloading with it. If I'm going to drop the cash, I want it to last a couple years and continue as a strong machine. Any input is appreciated
