im going to be getting a new computer in this next month and i want to know will it run these resonably 1 gears of war 2 call of duty 4 specs are 2.0ghz intel core 2 duo (if not would 2.4ghz) 2gb ram NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics w/256mb vram im selling my old macbook and getting the new ones at http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook?mco=MTIyMTM the one on the left is the one i want if its not good enough then is the 2.4
If this newy is going to be a gameing machine, then go for the higher cpu and a 512mb vid card. Games are coming out more power hungry, best to have a little more than not enough. If you have any cash left over, then increase the system RAM also if the mobo allows. Hey..it's only money.
I'm not really going to be doing much gameing other than with games I know will run on that system and I would like to know if the system can run gears of war and call of duty 4 resonalably good I'm more of a console gamer so as long as it can run those I am fine thanks
Here's a link for system requirements for gears of war... http://gearsofwarx.com/gears-of-war-pc-system-requirements.html and here for call of duty 4 http://www.bestgn.net.au/games/call-of-duty-4.html These should help out. Cheers.
ive got the basic idea about the system running it but one question more gears of war 2.0ghz amd or 2.4ghz intel now im getting a 2.0ghz dual core is that good enough im thinking since its dual core it should work even tho its under what is recomended for intel i will be running windows vista Ultimate
I'd go with the 2.4 to be safe, and it depends on the resolution you're playing at. Higher around 1680x1050 will need a pretty powerful card, lower around 1024x768 will play mostly off the cpu,. Also check the bus speed of the cpu 1333mhz for games in my opinion. Hope i helped.
I don't care all that much about resolution as long as it's playable at at least 1024 x 768 and the main reson I am asking about the 2ghz I just can't afford the extra $300 or so for higher end one so I shoul refease it Is gears at least playable at 2ghz dual core at minimum of 1024 x 768 res without much lag I'm ugradeimg from the intel gma 950 so I don't care about quality all that much But I guess I will figure out if it does run since i already own gears and bought it for my other computer but I didn't work on that video card

I did a lot of research about 2-3 months ago when buying my laptop, and can safely say that the card in the laptop you want (9400M GS/GT) is a low-end graphics card. Sure, it beats the intel integrated chips, but still it will have trouble running games at a decent res. I would recommend looking for a laptop with a mid range card like the nVidia 8600M GT (DDR3)/ or the 9500M GS, or a 9600M GT (if you can fit it in your budget) as these are quite a bit better, especially the 9600 The best would be a high end card like a 9700/9800M GT/GTX, but most people can't afford those (myself included ;( ) Hope this helps
I belive your somewhat mistaken about the 9400m it's actualy can run gears I just got my computer last week and it runs gear or war at high with only little lag but that's cause min is 2.4 I got 2 You maybe right but I am so used to the gma 950that it just seems great Thanks for all the responses people but I got my new computer and answered my question
Really, on high??? That's great, which res. are you playing at by the way??? PS- Congrats on the new lappy
I can run it at 1280-800 at high but it runs reaobable but not the best so I play it at 1024-784 on medium it adds performance and doesn't look much differant
