Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I am looking at buying a laptop, i am either going to wait a few months and get an alienware one, or just spend what i have now on this one.

here are the specs of this one that i can get really cheap.

Core 2 Duo 2.6ghz
4gb ram
* Graphics Processor / Vendor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
* Video Memory 1 GB DDR3 VRAM

windows 7 home premium

I was worried about the gpu, but i discovered it can play modern warfare 2 at 40fps on highest settings, and Crysis on the second highest setting at 36fps, so i think it should be ok?

The GPU is fine if you keep the gfx enhancements to a minimum.

I'd say get an i5 over a Core 2 Duo, but should be ok..

Not great but it'll do. If you can afford an Alienware rig shortly, they blow everything away...

Alienware is a rip off at 2-3k dollars. Build one from the ground up. Or if you just want something powerful buy a Gateway FX6831 tower and make adjustments as you go it'll run you 1200 at Best buy. the FX i7 should be enough to absolutely kill any game out at the moment.

Build a laptop? Seriously?

lol whoops, shouldda payed more attention to the words "I'm thinking to buy a new LAPTOP"

Who would buy an Alienware Desktop.. they even make them?

I think they do make Desktops.

But I'd rather build it myself (the Desktop, not the Alienware)

And yes, for games I'd recommend an Alienware Laptop too, but only if you have the money.
If not, try to look at some other manufacturers
