[Bellz]

how well does the nvidia 6150 perform in these with bf2/css?

[sabrewolf732]

a 6100 does decent in css, so the 6100 should do css. BF2 I don't know about.

[CrazyJ]

unless you got 2 gigs of ram I wouldnt even think about bf2 with a 6100

[zombeh]

in general or in a laptop? i have a x850 and 1gig of ram and bf2 runs fine with me.

Why do all of the cheap laptops have 15.4" screens? Do they all get their screens from the same factory in china?

[TheLordsServant]

Thanks for the heads-up I might buy one of these, they're really cheap

[TMan1876]

Because it is a popular medium sized screen. Most people want 15.4" laptops... hence most laptops are 15.4"

Lots of companies make 15.4" screens... thats why they go into cheap laptops.

i have gfg6150 w/tl-50 taylor (1.6ghz dualcore), 1GB RAM. CSS barely runs, turn off ALL eye candy and it's still sluggish. if you like staticy gameplay, it runs OK. i run with latest driver 93.71 and 87.x official both suck.

q3a runs fine. so game engines pre-Source and post quake3 should run no problem, but Source and afterwards you will run into problems. warcraft3 rocks!!! :D
