:) im gettin a sony vaio laptop with the above processor and
512mb memory
256mb graphics
inside my question is is this a good proccesor? i wil be using the laptop for surfing the web,media use and playing games. ive been told that with will run as well as a more powerfull desktop cpu is this true? and also some of the games i have at the mo i.e san andreas and cc generals their spec ask for a p4 or amd equivilant processor will this be suitable? thanks. :)
 
yea that is all good but ur not gonna get very good battery life because of the large video card and 1.8 ghz processor but it will be fast, wat model of sony vaio are u getting?
 
His processor is a Pentium M... it will only consume 21-24.5 watts of power depending on the core (unless its an ultra low volt which will only consume 5-7 watts). You will see performances equivalant to or better a Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz with no HT.

As for San Andreas here are the minimum requirements:

Windows 98/2000/ME/XP
Pentium PIII 800 MHz Processor or AMD Athlon
NVIDIA GeForce™ or ATI Radeon™ 7000 or higher
CDROM 4X or Faster
256 MB RAM

These are the recommended requirements:

Windows XP
CPU Pentium 4 2.4GHz or Athlon 2200
Geforce FX 5700 or Radeon 9600 or higher
CDRom 52x or DVD Rom 16x
512 MB RAM

To answer your question plainly - you have nothing to worry about.
