    Ok, I think I've decided to get the Sager 9262 after a couple months of researching. I would like to get an opinion of which core I should get though dual or quad I plan on doing nothin but game on this thing but I would also like to future proof it. Would I be able to get a quad core without sacrificing gaming performance with my older games like cod 2, bf2 ect. I do plan on getting crysis and cod 4 and 5. Another question if I did get a dual core and decided later to get a quad would I be able to upgrade to the quad without having to buy a whole new laptop? Any opinions would be great. thx

    if you have the dough, quad core is definitely the way to go, especially for future-proofing. older games won't need much more than mayb 2-2.5ghz, so you should be fine.

    just noticed your second question, yes you can upgrade later on, but i don't think it's worth it to essentially buy two processors.
