Build Your Own Gaming Notebook
What is a good laptop for gaming?
I currently have a sony vaio pentium 4 512 ram 64 mb radeon video but when I tried to play games like doom 3 and command and conquer tiberian sun it lagged. I want a notebook that will play these games very smoothly on normal if not high graphic settings. I would also like it to have built in wireless. Thanks.

- Alienware is the only way to go.
- one with minesweeper! lol
- The one that got a good Video card
- Your Ram is way too small...i think games like that need at least 2Gb Ram
- if you want a new one then take one with intel 2.0 p4 and 256 mb 7600 nVidia graphic card and 2 gb for ram it is the best for gaming

- If you check, you might be able to increase the ram of your current computer. If it is currently 512, you may be able to increase to 1024 or possibly even 2 Gb. You need to know if you have an empty slot. Also can you change the current memory chip to increase it? Would probably be less expensive than buying a new laptop since all you want is to play games.
- Something that has at least 1 GB of RAM, at least 128 MB of video memory (like the Mobility Radeon X600), and at least more than 1.5 GHz (but I recommend 2GHz or more). And it has to be Pentium, not Celeron. Celeron is slower.
- You cannot upgrade your current laptop as the integrated card cannot be removed.
Have a look at the Dell XPS, alienware Area 51 m5550, asus g1(s) and asus c90.
To play these games well get a minimum of an nvidia 7400 or ATI x1400.
- Dell XPS Laptops are great for gaming. If you want mobile capability (if you want to bring them anywhere 4.4 lbs), Get the Dell XPS M1210, plays Doom 3 with ease!
