Clawz114 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 667mHz? :\Most notebook ram is 667Mhz. You can get 800Mhz i believe but its expensive, and this was the only option...What is it that you're even going to use it for? Just to clarify, no I didn't buy it for portability, or for battery life.I have a very laid back job, where me and my boss play games pretty much all day. A desktop at work is too big, whereas a laptop lid can be shut if there are customers. That is its main usage, but I do plan on bringing it home occasionally for the Blu-Ray player, and I will also take it round my mates house every now and then to play some games LAN style. I've done that once with my desktop, and it was so much effort.That ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Not bad, although I would of though you would of got a small flash HDD in the mix too. I would like to see a screen shot of futuremark '06 if you have it?I was going to buy an alienware laptop two years ago. Same thing really but with 2x8600GTs & 17" screen. Man, I'm so glad I didn't! Stupid money for something that isn't that great. I'm still wondering weather I should get a laptop or not for uni next year (edit: £400 MAX). I've never had a problem with transporting my desktop nor been a big fan of laptops. Edited September 20, 2009 by froggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 You can big your laptop up as much as you like, they're never as good as desktops.For starters, the mouse / keyboard is always crap - I've always ended up using a PC's keyboard and mouse, which defeats the object a bit!I'm sure it's good for a laptop, they just don't appeal to me.

fruitbat Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Most notebook ram is 667Mhz. You can get 800Mhz i believe but its expensive, and this was the only option...I have seen one on PCworld with 800mhz for £549.99, not that expensive.I wouldn't say no to a £1500 laptop (for free), but I couldn't justify paying for it, but hey, if you got the money then why not.Frooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clawz114 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Not bad, although I would of though you would of got a small flash HDD in the mix too. I would like to see a screen shot of futuremark '06 if you have it?It was about £200 more for an SSD, and it was less storage. I'm not quite ready for SSD yet. When the price per GB drops more, then i will definitely look into upgrading it!I'l try and get 3dmark up on it.I have seen one on PCworld with 800mhz for £549.99, not that expensive.The actual chipset that this laptop uses, does not support 800Mhz RAM. It only supports up to 667Mhz. If you were to instal 800Mhz, it would limit itself to 667Mhz, if it worked at all that is!There is support for an FSB running at 800Mhz, but thats different!Besides, the difference it makes is said to be minimal and has no real noticable improvement. It is easier to overclock 800Mhz memory, which is one of the advantages, but i will not be doing this, so that makes no difference to me.It wouldnt suprise me if this PCworld laptop was limited to 667Mhz due to the chipset Edited September 20, 2009 by Clawz114 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I can totally see the point in a big laptop. Have a desk that is completely free of clutter except when you get the laptop out of the drawer or something? Sounds good to me - and it doesn't matter if it's not portable to carry around all day and use in the cafe and on the train etc. That's not the point. Having said that, they are a LOT more expensive than a comparable desktop, and my experience of laptops is that they break quite frequently. But if you can afford it, why not?

nc7r Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I knew from this topic title it was going to be a pathetic one however I must interject;Most notebook ram is 667Mhz. You can get 800Mhz i believe but its expensive, and this was the only option...No. Most 'good' laptop ram is 1067 MHz DDR3 nowadays.It's a shame it runs Windows though. If you installed OS X on to it and got rid of the whole external casing so it doesn't look tacky, bulky and generally gash, it'd be an ok computer I guess.

Clawz114 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) What he said ^ I wouldn't have a desktop due to space reasons, and practability. I'd rather have all my stuff on an amazing laptop than half my stuff on a shitty laptop, and half on a desktop. Your away with the laptop, and what you need is on your desktop, very handy that!Nice peice of kit dude, any game screenshots to show us/me?I still havnt got round to installing any other games apart from Left4Dead and C&C3, so here's some screenshots of them...I knew from this topic title it was going to be a pathetic one however I must interject;No. Most 'good' laptop ram is 1067 MHz DDR3 nowadays.It's a shame it runs Windows though. If you installed OS X on to it and got rid of the whole external casing so it doesn't look tacky, bulky and generally gash, it'd be an ok computer I guess.Yes, but thats DDR3. I'm using DDR2.Like i said, the difference between the 800Mhz and the 667Mhz DDR2 ram is minimal.Like i also said before, what games can OS X play? I suppose your laptop is so much better?
