Not sure if this is the right forum for this question or not but it seems like a good guess at where it goes. This christmas there is a 99 percent chance my mom is getting me a laptop. I have it narrowed down to 2 she can afford. The first is this one: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11038077

and the second is

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11038078

My questions are

1. Which of these would run Dolphin (Mainly for games like Super Mario Galaxy and such on the Wii) at a decent playable speed

2. How would I hook up a wiimote and nunchuck to this

Go for the first one. Geforce 8200M is a crap compared to HD 3650. And the processor is better too. But I'd rather recommend you to go check circuitcity.com. They have pcs from every company, and they are really cheap too.

I would go to circuit city except for 2 things

1. they went chapter 11 here in eht

and

2. As unfortunate as it is my mom is on a serious budget. She knows what comp i want if she wasn't. It's a 4000 alienware gaming pc with quad core, 8 gigs of ram, terabyte hard drive. The second was what I was thinking as well...namely because I want a blu ray player in the house, plus I would assume the second one is better gaming wise

Any1 else with opinions?

Well, I'm gonna guess that that 4570 is gonna be as good or better than the 3650 in the other one you were about to get. Processor-wise you're ABOUT the same.

Super Mario Galaxy is runs fairly well in a lot of places but even on uber OC'ed i7 machines, it's currently a tough game to get CONSISTENT great framerates on. Your laptop is good and I'm gonna guess that it'll definitely be able to run a lot of Gamecube games at full-speed. However I'm not sure about Wii games.
Windows 7 RC Build 7100 x64 || Windows Vista SP2 x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 (3.16Ghz)
