I got this acer laptop for my birtday. And I was interested, is it good for gaming (new high quallity games)
It freezes sometimes in game (battlefield 2142), is this due to lack of cpu?

centrino m pentium m 740 1.73g processor.
Ati radeon x700 vram 256mgb
1gb ram ddr2

ram is the only thing that can be upgraded (2gb), I was wondering if its worth upgrading it for games.
what about the new centrino duo come against centrino m with the same clock speed?

all opinions are welcome!!!
cheers
 
The x700 is a bit better than a 7300GS. Has anyone tried them game using one of those cards? I'd imagine it'd work alright, but it'd have to be on low settings.

I'd say they are pretty close

but when a new map starts loading i sometimes get ctd
Get what?
 
I don't understand why people want to game on laptops. I own 2 laptops on HP nc4200 and an ibook, and I would never play games on them. They are for work really.

I game on my desktop only, and if its portability you want for a gaming rig, build a LAN PC, in one of those mico towers. Those are at least somewhat upgradeable.
