Title: Laptop for AH2?
Post by: tce2506 on February 03, 2007, 09:26:14 PM

Hey guys, tax time is here and it looks like I'll be able to upgrade to a rig that will actually handle AH2 beyond 10 fps. I would like to get a laptop, but can a laptop handle it? IF so, do you have any suggestions? I'm really not caught up with laptop performance at all. When I get then new macjhine I'll be able to fly again, it will be nice to see the game in hi-res and not see a slide show when I get into a fight! Thanks for any help!

TCE

for what you will pay for a good laptop to play AH2 on, you could get a screamin desktop. your choice.

only need that alienware stuff if you want to run the game at max everything.  A Dell XPS mid range could get you comfortable with AH i think.

Just look for 2 GB RAM, 1.6GHz plus CPU, fast HDD, and a standalone vid card (not shared memory).  SHould be good to go :P.

thanks guys, looks like I've got about $1400 to play with so I guess I'll go the desktop route. Now just gotta get the best bang for my buck.
