I am new to the series and have a less than optimal laptop. Can you please shed some more light on how much difference teh DX9 mode makes ?

Or you could spend about $3500 dollars less and build a desktop capable of the same thing.

You get heated up all you want there Gray, most people don't have the kind of money you apparently have to waste on notebooks capable of running shogun 2 properly. So not only is my suggestion spot on in this thread, it's in line with the 99% of the people reading it economically.

Gray explained his need and reasoning for having the notebook he does. I don't see anyone getting "heated up" - only notebooks.

While I agree with you that a gaming notebook makes little sense to me (I'm a desktop fan too), the fact is, many people today want to or need to take their PC with them and for them the notebook fullfills their needs. As for which notebooks can play TWS2, each person has to make their own decision regarding what is within their means in the cost vs game settings issue. The topic of this thread is not notebook vs desktop playing TWS2, it is what notebook can play TWS2 and to what degree.
