Laptop spec

[olipcs]

Hi,
I'm using an DELL XPS M 1530 (Dual-Core 2,4ghz, 4 GB RAM, 8600M GT) to 5-box with no real problems in normal populated areas.
Only thing i had to configure is using minimal system settings at my clones and an background fps of 10.

Dell Inspiron 1520. C2D 1.5ghz. 4GB RAM. 8600M GT 256mb.

Above specs have allowed me to 5box JUST fine. Runs great, get some choppyness in Shatt but thats to be expected. Other Capital cities runs just fine.

umm... yea, do u think it would be ok?

Imo its quite cheap. thats worrying me because i know things are too good to be true when they are cheap. affter looking at alot of other laptops the same spec but higher priced.

oh i dont know, if im not happy im sure i can ship it back to wherever it came from :S lol!

ty again people sorry for keeping this annoing post up ^^

Get the 8600M GT if at ALL possible. 128mb of mem for your gfx card isn't quite enough for 4 or 5 boxing. Your really gonna want atleast 256mb of ram on your gfx. Other than that looks aces :thumbup:

A number of the components you have listed are lower end, this is probably why the price is lower than expected.

As previously stated, the 8400M GS 128mb is definitely the weakest piece. Get something in the 256-512mb range. I would prefer an 8800m GTS if I were speccing a laptop for boxing, but the 8600m's should do the trick.

The processor could also benefit from an upgrade. Aside from its 2.0ghz rated speed, it's cache is as small as they come (in that product line) and you will be asking a lot of that processor. For a dual core processor, I would recommend a 4mb l2cache. <--I learned this lesson the hard way

ok ty for that u guys .

yes i noticed the graphics after i i posted, quickly made an upgrade NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 8600M GT with 256MB dedicated graphic memory ( think it will be ok runnin on low settings )

and also upgraded to : Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2-cache)

cant really go much higher because im on tight budget lol

anyways thanks for input will let you know how i get on

Also remember to run Vista in classic mode, will help on performance.
