i'm getting a dell inspiron 9,300 in a couple of weeks
(still need to get some fo the money together and wait for a good deal like $1000 cash off or 25% csh off)
as i need a laptop for uni and my desktop is getting old i got it just before age of myth came out (it was top of the line back then).
the specs i'm looking at are:
-2ghz PM processor 533 mh/z fsb and 1 or 2mb cache
-1024 MB ram, last month a deal came with $1000 off and double memory for 'free' but i was still $1900 short then
-256 Mb geForce 6800
-100 gb hdd
-1920x1200 17" widescreen
with the cash off deals it come to about $2700 wich is good as a similar priced machines from local retailer is like
1.6-1.8Ghz
512 - 1024 ram
60gb - 80gb hdd
intergrated - 128 geforce 6600
---
when i finally get it, i will be able to see all the bells and whistles age 3 has to offer, atm my machine can run 1600x1200 with high models / texture and medium shaders / low shadows no aa or af though.
