My parents have decided to buy me a laptop for graduation. However, last time they bought a computer without consulting me we ended up with one that is in my brothers room and plays World of Warcraft. That is all it does, because it can't run anything more than that.
I will definitely be using this laptop for papers and the like (going into college as a pre-med major) but that does not really call for much in the way of processing. What I am looking for is a laptop that can run some of the latest games (LOTR Online possibly, Battlefield 2, etc.) but will also be under $1000
Between Newegg and my local Best Buy I have found a few that I really like. The hard drive space is enough, the processor has enough power, each have at least a gig of RAM. My problem is that the graphics card always comes up with the same few numbers:
nVidia GeForce GO 6150, 6150, 7600 (May be $2000, I forget)
ATI Radeon Xpress 200m, 1150m
Can anyone give me the specs on these cards? Any suggestions would be welcomed as well.
Thank you!
