Before I begin, let me PLEASE ask people don't come here telling me it's better on a desktop. I know it is. I need a laptop. This isn't a "maybe I could get a desktop, maybe a laptop" thing. It's a "I'm getting a laptop and that's final" thing.

So I'm buying a laptop, most likely tomorrow, and I need a bit of help here. The quicker the better, seeing as the purchase might be tomorrow. It's got

- 4GB of RAM
- T6600 Processor (2.2GHz, will most likely overclock it).
- Radeon HD 4650 GPU (Can run Crysis on high. Very high if overclocked).

I've seen videos on YouTube of people who have 2.2GHz processors, but not the same one as mine, and they get fairly good frame rates. But I don't know if that's because their CPU is actually better even though it's still the same clock speed. How would mine fair? Examples of games I'd like to run:

- Pikmin 2
- SSBB
- Wind Waker
- Luigi's Mansion

Thanks for the help, if you help me Wink

40fps on 720p ok
but just so you know 95% of laptops can't be overclocked and even if you could you would have to get it to at least 2.6-3.0ghz which would generate way to much heat

Sounds pretty good! Big Grin Is that across all games or the least graphically intense?

And I know this laptop can be overclocked, it's just a question of how much. But you have to admit, being able to run Crysis on very high is quite a feat, so I'd say I might be good, maybe if I can get a few more opinions...
