I have too pick one of these two laptops...

[Miisen99]

Hello! I have no experience at all from the laptop world and I do not know much about graphic cards and such. Maybe someone here could help me though!

I want to be able to play a game that has the following requirements:

Minimum
# Pentium 4 CPU, 1.4GHz
# 512 MB RAM
# GeForce 3Ti/Radeon 8500
# Win 98/ME/2000/XP

Advanced
# Pentium 4 CPU, 2.40 GHz
# 1G RAM
# GeForce 4Ti/GeForce FX5700/Radeon 9000
# Win 98/ME/2000/XP

The thing is I want to play it at highest quality possible and right now I have to choose one of the following laptops:

Model LG S900-U.CPFNV
Operating System Windows Vista® Home Premium
Processor Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7100 (1.8GHz/2M/FSB800Mhz)
Chipset Intel PM965 + ICH-8M
Graphics card NVIDIA® GeForceTM Go 8600M GT (256 MB)
Memory 2GB(1024MB x 2) DDR II (667MHz, Dual Channel Support, Up to 4GB)

Model LG W1-KP44V
Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Business
Processor Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor TT2450 (2.0GHz)
Chipset Intel 945PM + ICH7-M
Graphics card ATI® MobilityTM Radeon® X1600 (512 MB)
Memory 1GB(1024MB x 1) DDR II (DDR II 667 MHz, upgradeble to 4GB)

I am VERY thankful for any help, since I do not know much about these thing and it seems to me that the both of them have ups and downs.

if you are choosing between the two, then i wud recommend LG S900-U.CPFNV

 

[Miisen99]

I just relized that I forgot to include the graphics card information! Thank you Adarsh, is the S900 preferable even though it only has a 256MB graphics card?

 

[Geoff]

No doubt the S900. The graphics card is a great mid-ranged laptop card, and the processor will handle virtually anything. Dont pay much attention to the requirements, even though it says recommended 2.4Ghz, your processor performs much better then a 2.4Ghz P4.

 

[HumanMage]

Yes the S900 is more than enough to play that game you want at nice settings.

 

[adarsh]

yea thts exactly why i recommended it... its pretty robust

 

[Miisen99]

Thanks alot you guys! You've really helped me out!
If anyone wonders, the game is Ragnarok Online 2

 

[adarsh]

but then again, u hav ur pros and cons with laptops... they're not exactly amazing for gaming. I would use a desktop

 

[Miisen99]

yah, well the only game I'm interested in is Ragnarok Online 2 haha... so if I can play it on advanced settings with a laptop I'll be fine! ^^

 

[adarsh]

yea i suppose u wudnt face too many problems... but it seems to hav a pretty good configuration

 

[Miisen99]

I won't be able to play it at highest possible settings though, right? :O

 

[HumanMage]

I imagine you would. Isn't Ragnarok Online 2 an older game? I don't see any reason why you couldn't play it at highest settings.

 

[Miisen99]

It isn't even out yet There's only at a beta stage in korea and japan right now, and the international beta is going to begin soon.

 

[HumanMage]

Oh I didn't know. My fault

 

[Miisen99]

Haha np So I can play it on highest possible settings or what? :S

 

[oscaryu1]

Yeah probably. There's an pretty big difference between an GeForce 3/4 and an 8600
