Asus G51 with BFBC2

Hello everyone,
I'm considering upgrade my laptop to T9400 with NVidia GTX260M. I need to say first I do not have enough money to go for a quad-core processor. I would like to know if someone has a similar configuration and has played BFBC2? How well can I expect this laptop to run BFBC2 (fps, max setting)? Thanks!

 

I have the Asus G60VX with a Core 2 Extreme X9100 and the GTX 260m, works great with BFBC2, i usually get with 2x AA 16x AS with the 1366x768 res around 40-60fps with a mild overclock on the gpu 580/1450/850 and the cpu at 3.23ghz and its awesome i can even play like Crysis 2 with decent frame rate so if you go for like the x9100 or the t9900 you would be sitting with a pretty decent gaming rig.

And I believe the currently going rate on the x9100 and the t9900 are still about the same, $200-230 is the average so or go for the e8435 same thing as the x9100 just they used those in apple's but still work with our rigs. Best place to get 1 is on ebay and don't buy ES or QS buy the OEM only they tend to last longer.

 

or you could get the p9600. it uses less power (25W vs 35W), just in case you want to preserve battery life too

 

Thanks for your inputs, my G51 has native screen 1440x900 but I hook it to a 20' monitor to be able to play at 1600x900, but probably I will need to lower the resolution

 

a G51 with a 1440x900 res lol thats a first, all g51's came with either 1366x768 or 1920x1080 for native res, might wanna double check that, and if it is you have the only one with that native res
