Dad Said I Could Get a New Comp.. Help!

**Prince of the Poodles** · 10-04-2006, 22:47

Hey,

Well my dad said I could get a new computer since M2TW is coming out very soon, but I dont know where to start, except that Alienware makes good gaming computers.

Money isnt really an issue, and I want my game to run perfectly on the highest settings, so can anyone help me or make any suggestions about what I should get. I dont know much about cards and ghz and all that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

One more thing, it would be great if this new computer were a laptop, as I live half my life at my bfs.

However, if it comes down to performance vs convenience, I would much rather have a desktop with great performance.

Thanks again.. :D

i dont remeber the requeriments of M2TW:
The sys requeriments are:

Processor 1.5 Ghz

Ram 256Mb

3d Card:128 Mb

Make me remember

You should check out the hard and software forum, a lot of people seem to be upgrading these days. You won't get the same performance out of a laptop as you would get out of a desktop, simply because power is often a consideration for laptops and less so for desktops, modern 3D cards swallow electricity (even if battery life wasn't the problem, heat generation would still be a major issue in laptops) and because it's harder and more expensive to make things small enough to fit into a laptop.

If money is no objection you could probably just buy one of the top Alienware computers, or the top computers from another high-end assembler (though I wouldn't recommend dell myself and would recommend against HP).

If money isn't an issue then you should simply buy the most up to date and expensive hardware possible, and have it put to together by a professional.

I agree with the part about having the machine being put together profesionally, however, I would be careful with what you buy. There is some really overpriced crap out there that tends to break down and make you mad.

Also, Alienware laptops tend to be a little heavy and slightly cumbersome, so keep that in mind.

Anyway, go ahead and check with the h and s tech forums.

For an alienware alternative, they dont do laptops though.

Thats the Aphros series. If you go for one that doesnt come fully overclocked + water cooled as standard then they start from £1069.

Hello Poodles,

Take a look at the Hard and Software area right here at the guild. A lot of helpfull members roam that part of the fora. They'll know everything you'd possibly like to know, and more.
