    I am looking to get a new laptop shortly and have found two which seem to meet the budget.

    The first is an HP with a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT130M and Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8600

    The second is a Packard Bell with NVidia GeForce 9800GTS and Intel Core 2 Duo processor P8400


    Which is likely to serve me best for general gaming?
    I haven’t got many “hard core” pc games as I haven’t previously had a good enough set up to run them, however I currently play the likes of Total War, Neverwinter nights2 but am looking forward to the release of Dragon Age origins and COD Modern warfare 2.

    I also want something that will last a few years before I find that I can only run newly released games at bare minimum.
    Any recommendations? My understanding of hardware is limited to knowing that I understand very little!

    Awesome.

    Thanks guys!

    I wasn’t expecting anything so clear cut (or quick for that matter).
