by todays standards what hardware is generally required to play new pc games (like FEAR?)

I'm looking to buy a new laptop or desktop pc and was wondering if there is a standard out there?

Would any of you reccomend buying a laptop for gaming? My budget is around 4000 dollars.

Also are there any good buying guides out there that would help me?

Bill Gates never created or manufactured computers, he designed and coded OS's.

Therefore, calling [-0MEGA-] Mr. Gates is invalid.
 
i honestly appreciate the help you guys have given me.

all this techno babble has me going crazy I really need to do some reserarch on it.

I'm running a very very weak machine right now, im on dial up and I have OCD so you can imagine my frustrations. haha
 
For $4000 you could get all of the fastest parts for a desktop, laptops cannot compare to desktops in gaming power, and probably never will, because of power limitations. I highly reccomend a custom build, you get more bang for your buck, and the system is exactly how you want it.
 
i think that one day is talking about 2500 aus and digitalstar is where i bought my laptop and it is great. i recommend that if anyone in aus is trying to buy a laptop get a custom one from digitalstar
