Hey everyone,
So, i go back to college tomorrow. turns out last night my brother cracks his LCD screen on his Dell Inspirion 9300. Of course.
My dad is in a crunch to get him a new computer before i leave. So i have less than 24 hours to get him a new gaming laptop.
He usually plays World of Warcraft, CounterStrike Source, and Half Life 2. This previous laptop he had for 2 1/2 years with a GeForce 6800Go in it.. Centrino 2.0 ghz 1gb RAM and a 17inch screen
Ive been out of the market and stopped following video cards a long time ago. I know the latest processors, RAM and all that.. that ive kept up with.. but i really need everyones help in choosing a good video card.
How is the 8400M GS? compared to the 8800M? Is there any card anyone personally has used that they would recommend? I would assume either one of these would be an upgrade from what he had.. and if WoW and CS:S played fine on his 6800m that the 8400M GS would be fine, right? Im open for any suggestions please. And i need suggestions in the next four hours :/.
Thanks guys
EDIT: One of the computers im looking at is this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...=product&tab=2&id=1196470766824#productdetail
