can i play nfs games from prostreet upwards and call of DUTY from modern warfare upwards on the
ZG laptop because the both has same Vga cards. the only difference is the processor so can i play these games on the first one or should i buy the second one
Second one for sure an intel i3 is good processor its dual core but it has hyperthreading which makes it act like a quad core I personally have an ausus laptop with an i3 the 370m processor model it has 4gb of ram and 500gb of hardrive and the graphics are run thru the processors gnu and it gives me 2gb of graphic processing but since its processor runed it takes them from my ram but still I run a couple of games on it and she runs em good and the ate card on those is a shared processor card which uses ram also not like a stand alone card which doesn't need to take from the ram

You'd probably could play these games. I played COD:MW1 on a 6600 processor (dual core) and NVIDIA 230m.
I'd suggest that you go for the i3 if you can afford it.
Hey my girlfriend got accepted into Environmental Design and she needs a laptop with certain hardware specs, she has a macbook right now but is more of a Windows girl.

A lot depends on her budget and what specs she needs. I'd assume that she must have a dedicated GPU, and a decent processor.
MBPs pretty much compete with Dell's XPS line and/or the lower end Alienware line. You can also check out Lenovo and Asus to see if they have the same.
And laptops are very comoditised. Just get a brand you are comfortable with at a price you liked
Also, marry her. Now. There aren't many girls left that prefers Windows over Mac. I mean it.
So most of here are geeks in the good scene of the word. We all have our mobile devices that we love and hack and tweak and mod. 98% of the time, to do what we need to do to our mobile devices, we rely on our PC. I'd be willing to bet that allot of you also have a strong attachment to your PC hardware as much as your mobile. Weather its for development, gaming, testing, surfing, working, pr0n? Use this thread to post specs and/or pics and show off all the hardware that sits between you and your modded mobile device.
Main PC (no image cause my desk is a wreak) but enjoy my desktop =]
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz CPU
GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 Mobo
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
eVGA Nvidia GTX 260 896MB
3x 250GB SATA 3.0
1x 1TB SATA 3.0
LG DVD +/-RW DL
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
40" 1080P (1920x1080) HDTV (use for tv and as display)
I use this for everything. Dev, Gaming, School, Work. You'll find visual studio and Borland Delphi 7 along with the likes of MW3 and BF3. I also burn many a DVD and do most of my phone tasks here.
Mobile PCs
See attachment
Top Left, Clockwise -=> Dell Precision M6300, Dell Precision M90, Toshiba A215, HP TouchPad, Acer 5670
All configured similarly, less the Touchpad. Minor variance in CPU from 1.86GHz Core Duo to 2.4GHz C2D. All 4GB DDR2, All Win7 Ultimate (M6300 64Bit). I actually use the Acer the most as its Power/Weight ratio is awesome. It will do post modern 3d gaming with its 256MB Ati x1600 dedicated GPU. But I mostly work in Visual Studio on this. It is nice to be able to take a break and pwn some no0bs in the face and have great framerates . I love my Toshiba as a communications laptop. Its integrated web cam is top notch. And my Dell Precision's, well they are just 17" powerhouses. Mostly used for Mobile Gaming or movie viewing on their awesome large 17 inch displays (1440x900 native).
I did a search and didn't find any like posts. If I just missed it, feel free to merge this with it. If not, I look forward to see what everyone else uses when their not on their phone!
I got an Asus K53SV-SX838V notebook which has some nice specifications. In fact I use my notebook more then my phone.
I do use my notebook for playing COD MW3 and movies and tv series and sometime I like to try other operating systems like Linux, but will do that most time in vmware or live usb.
It's specifications are:
CPU: Intel Core I7 - 2679QM, 2.2Ghz with turbo boost till 3.1Ghz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 540 + Intel HD 3000
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 128GB Crucial M4
Further it has an 1366x768 resolution and its 15.6 inch. Also it has one USB 3.0 port and an multitouch touchpad and HDMI and a VGA port and an standard webcam.
I'm very happy with it and it was an good deal, I bought it for € 587 excluding the SSD ofcourse at end of january , it came with an 640GB harddrive which is now my external harddrive.
I have a stock Toshiba Satellite for a laptop but my gaming rig is as follows
AMD Phenom II 1090T 6 Core
16GB Corsair Dominator GT
Crossfired 6970's
1.5 TB SATA HDD
128 GB Crucial M4 SSD
7.1 Audio
Nothing real special but it works for me.
Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition
8GB ram
few terabytes of hardrives
2X 8600 GTi in SLi
C2D 2.6 (I think)
Some dust in the case
On a 23" Acer
Runs Skyrim without the slightest lag on all highest settings
Also MAcbook for everyday work, also connected to the 23" and it's closed all the time with an external KB and mouse. lol.

How is the buldozer? not just for gaming but other any other cpu intensive work? Im looking at getting the AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz on newegg right now for 149.99 (it really is in my shopping cart lol), I'll hold off a few though as ive never actually been able to chat at someone who owns one. This quad i think is at an awesome price/performance ratio though.
My big main PC is the first one that I put together myself:
Intel i5-2500k (stock)
16GB G.Skill DDR3
2 overclocked XFX AMD 6970s
125GB Corsair SSD boot drive
1TB Samsung data/application drive
3.1 Sony soundbar home theater system
47" LG LCD TV.
I've still got my HP school laptop as a backup, but I haven't touched it in a looong time.
My computer sucks :-/ here I go:
AMD Sempron 140 @ 3.65GHz
AMD ECS 890GXM-A 1.0
SuperTalent 2GB (1 x 1 GB) DDR3 1600MHz
ATI Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3
1x 300GB SATA
Windows 8
My PC is getting kinda dated but still does everything I need so no point fully upgrading yet
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo
AMD X2 6000+
4 x 2GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400
EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti FPB 1GB GDDR5
around 9TB of HDD space 1.5 installed rest hot swapped
22" Samsung 2253BW and 23" Acer X233H
I gave up on desktop, I replaced it with a Lenovo Y470p laptop. Its the first laptop I've purchased even though I built plenty of desktop in past. Never wanted get a one until they are small enough with a decent gpu and price.
This one isn't high end either, but with the AMD HD7690 which is 10% slower than a desktop HD5750/6750, its good enough to handle Skyrim in high settings. And since I only play mostly HalfLife2 mods, that's good enough for me. The laptop screen is abysmal, but I wasn't going to shell out an extra $500 to get an HP Envy 15 with the same hardware spec and any screen larger than 14".
Although I'm using it stationary as a desktop replacement connected to my 32" LCD. The main problem I'm having in term of gaming is the HDMI output signal lags by 30-40ms compared to the main screen. Add that to the 80ms in game lag (due to crappy ATT DSL) and the input lag of LCD itself, and the result is getting owned by wallhackers.
I will never get used to the keyboard and touchpad on the laptop so I'm still using my Logitech G5. I'm down on my last G5 since the other one goes choppy, I think I need to stock up more from ebay, I can't get used to any of Logitech new mice since they seem lower quality. I certainly won't be using any wireless mice or ones with glowing LED lights.
The only mod I did is to turn off the turbo boost for the Core i7 so the temperature doesn't shoot up to 90*C.
I am going to build a computer but its going to take some time, I was wondrring what I should use I was looking at MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr III 2GB(Non Ti), or Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870.
This is my current setup; HP 6214y:
AMD Athlon II x4 620 @ 2.6GHz
8GB DDR2
Radeon HD 6770 @ 900/1300
Antec Earthwatts 650w PSU
My New Build:
NZXT Phantom 410
Gigabyte 990FXA
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz
AMD FX 6300/8320?
GPU?
Same PSU or Bigger?
2TB HDD WD Green
Asus 21.5" 1080p LED
My plan is to be able to upgrade in the future as well as, to game, daily tasks, etc...
Should I hold out till next year for the newer card series(Gtx 700 vs Radeon HD 8000)?
Mmm, you'll find your answer HERE!. Read it real carefully.
I had already posted it there to the reason I started this 1 is because possibly more people look at it and basically just make it a gpu thread verses a whole computer questions related to thread.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
As posted above there's already a thread for PC related questions.
I'm building a new pc, so far i got two setups under my budget. But i can't decide.
1.

>GIGABYTE GA-H81M-S2V (S1150,DDR3,VGA/DVI,USB3.0,LAN,SATAIIII) mATX
>KINGSTON 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM HyperX FURY Red Series 2x (8gb)
>Zalman T1 PLUS, mATX, USB3.0 black case
2nd;
Asrock LGA1151 H110M-DGS mobo
>Corsair 4GB DDR4 2133 Value 2x (8gb)
