Well currently I am running on an old Dell Dimension 8300, Pent 4. 3.0ghz, (Nvidia 6800) 1gig memory. I am looking forward to purchase a notebook this Christmas season which can "replace" my desktop. Price range is under 1,800 and I do want it to run smoothly on DX10 Games that are coming out soon.
Specs I'm looking for :
Core2Duo 2.14ghz +
2Gig Memory
8600 graphics card or similar
15.4" Monitor
Good at running multiple programs and can handle dx10 games.
I've looked at the ASUS C90 module and it seems to have everything I need. It is also running on the E processor modules, which I do not really know what the difference of E and T's are if someone could explain :]
Considering I do have a few months to wait and decide, do you guys have any brands or websites that may help? And what do you guys think of sites like IBUYPOWER and CYBERPOWERPC? is 7200RPM harddrive a decent upgrade from 5400RPM, or will it cause overheating issues for a notebook?
