QUOTE(astria @ May 3 2009, 11:20 AM)  P is not new technology... Intel refined it's fab process to produce more eficient CPU... so there is no significant difference between them? ok thx.. |

QUOTE(astria @ May 6 2009, 09:43 PM) it's an overclocked 8400M GS... 3D Mark 06 is slightly less than 2k... so is there any problem with this? overclocked of 8400..meaning still 8400M? then will die after 1 year, juz like my vostro 1400? is the 3D mark good enough for L4D, COD4? |

QUOTE(astria @ May 6 2009, 09:50 PM) haha, it was juz a comapraison in terms of spec... dun worry, it wouldn't ka-boom like 8400M GS... this card is ok for games, probably low detail... but after 1 yr, dun expect too much from it... why after 1 year? hmm...better stick with ATi? Coz i now maybe getting Vaio Z series with tht gpu...im going to use it for at least 3 years. So i dono i should invest in which.. This post has been edited by AlphaBeta: May 6 2009, 09:55 PM |

QUOTE(astria @ May 6 2009, 10:01 PM) cuz it's a pretty old low end card... i suggest maybe u look for Radeon HD 4570, if u want some light game... Asus F6 series ve that... if u want a balance between graphic performance and battery life, give BenA S42 a consideration... 14" with GeForce 9600M GT + GMA 4500MHD... afaik, when using 9600M GT, 3D Mark 06 is >5k, and when using GMA, battery life can last abt 4.5hr... wht if i don game...maybe juz dota.. the Nvdia 9300 will still break down after 1 year? Any Dell tht is good? |

QUOTE(astria @ May 6 2009, 10:22 PM) if only Dota, then 9300M GS is more than enuf... but still i would suggest u get a better GPU so that u can still play new games in the future with decent performance... so a studio 15 with hd4570 is good? |

thx astria... erm any bad issues with Sony Vaio? i might be getting 1..i knw there is a battery problem, but it had been resolved.
Added on May 14, 2009, 12:19 amQUOTE(shinnyx @ May 14 2009, 12:17 AM) Seriously, x64 based is useless at the moment, due to majority of the software not supporting and it need more resources for your system. Obviously, 34bit with same processor and 4gb RAM will be faster. erm now im confused  ...u said the otherwise to astria This post has been edited by AlphaBeta: May 14 2009, 12:19 AM |
