i know what you mean. i played this game for about 2 and a half years before i got my new laptop. once i got it, i cranked up all the settings on it and was floored by what i've been limited from seeing. my old rig was fast and pretty good, but doesn't hold a candle to my new puppy here. this bad boy has a true HD 1080p screen on it for Blueray and it is slick. now that i'm mulitboxing, i have to turn all those nifty settings back down till get a new tower to run my slaves on. then i'll keep my main on my laptop.
