This notebook good enough for gaming ?

Hi there people,
I have just placed an order for this laptop ; http://www.pcnextday.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?ProductCode=3382-6301. I have also decided to buy an extra 1gb of ram ( 677 ).

I was wondering if this laptop would be able to play such games as BF 2, CS source, fear and Cryis ( when released ). Also what settings for these games ?.

Thanks.

 

CS Source: highest settings at native resolution.
Battlefield 2: high settings at native resolution.
FEAR: medium-high settings at native resolution.
Crysis: Probaly 800*600 at medium settings in DirectX 9 mode.

I am not sure about Crysis, the game is still in production. You can also search the forum for more info about the X1600. Great notebook, but the CPU can form a very small bottleneck. T2400 is my favourite, great price/performance ratio.

Yay!! thanks you so much. I was getting a bit worried because of its really cheap price but i can now relax. could you also check the ram im ordering http://www.pcnextday.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?ProductCode=3790-1030. It seems quite reliable but if i add that to the 512mb ram already installed in my laptop, would the overall ram on my laptop = 1.5gb ?.

Sounds like a stupid question but im not to good with this computer stuff .

 

Wow that is actually a very good price for an X1600 laptop, especially in this part of europe (britain and ireland, where laptops are really expensive for gaming)

nice bargin!

 

hey good choice. Make sure you come back here a do a wee review on that notebook as im sure many people would be intrested- including me.

It really is great value for money. Good choice.

 

Yeah, that sounds about right for crysis.
