Question about laptop

nymusicman · 09-20-2011, 03:21 PM

I'm thinking of purchasing the following laptop. I don't have a lot of money to lay down and this was the best I could find for $500. I don't even care if I run regnum on the lowest settings possible, I just want to make sure that when I go to war this laptop won't come to a screeching halt. I'll post the link and important specs below.

CPU: AMD Phenom II Quad-Core N970 2.2GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Video: AMD Radeon HD 6470M [512 MB DDR3] (This is mostly what I'm asking about. I know the CPU will run the game and I know 4GB will do just fine)
Hard Drive: 500 GB 5400rpm

I appreciate your input. Like I said this was the best deal I could find especially with dedicated graphics. I'm just wondering if it will be enough.

I have already found notebookreview saying that it will run WOW nicely at medium settings, but I don't know if that includes really heavy activity or not and I know they can be skewed sometimes as well (as in the case of the Intel 3000 graphics).

I've also checked passmark's results and 363 for the video card seems low but I'm not really sure what it takes when this game gets intense.

I do know that I've grinded on an old Intel GMA 950 card, but I'd prob never take that laptop into the warzone. It would halt.

Thanks for all your input.
