Just tell everyone NO its not

but this question is asked far too many times.

If you own or plan to upgrade ANY CPU ABOVE AMD X2 5600+ will work for most or all games (the playable ones)

I don't really think he's bragging though, seeing as that's not really a laptop to brag about.

Kryp has a point somewhat. Its either they can not search/read or they brag.

for this one please help me. Which one is the better Laptop or Pc and Why??


RE: Is my computer good for dolphin? - Necorum - 11-17-2009

Depends on your bank account.

I am planning to buy a new laptop, has anybody a similar:

Processor C2D 2,2 GHz Intel t6600 ,Chipset PM45
RAM 4G DDRIII
VGA Nvidia NV10MGS 512M

I mean how does the graphic card perform with dolphin...


RE: Is my computer good for dolphin? - curryking1 - 11-19-2009

^That sounds like an integrated graphics card or onboard graphics, correct? I am not sure, I am unfamiliar with that graphics card model.

I don't think that would be good for Dolphin, although I have not tried to run Dolphin on machines other than my own yet.

The CPU seems like it would do pretty good though. A higher clock speed for the CPU would benefit I'm sure.

If you are looking to get the best value for money, a desktop is the best way to get power if that alternative is suitable for you.

Really?! He doesn't even have a Graphics Card and it's fine? O.o

Quite interesting, those intel chipsets seem to be of some use after all ^^
