![]() This isn't going to make any difference whatsoever but since I like to put my $.02 in...
I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop with 1.5GB RAM and 100 GB HD, dual core 1.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor, and integrated ATI graphics. The graphics subsystem is currently set to use around 250MB of my system memory for graphics. IME, WoW plays very nicely, graphics are smooth and pretty (though I have them turned down somewhat for when things get 'flashy' on the screen... I hate lag ![]() I use this as my regular computer, and would actually be playing WoW right now if I could find a game card... But the fact is I paid $600 for my laptop, and it's awesome for what I paid. The only upgrade I've made is an extra 512MB of RAM, when I switched out the 512 for a 1GB chip. I would have bought a desktop BUT I hate having wires hanging everywhere. So I'm saving up for an iMac ![]()

Of couse multi core is always better when you are running a massivly parrallel program spread across a cluster (interconnects are the slow part not the CPU's) so 100 quad cores is a lot faster than 400 singles (less interconnects and less switch hops) I am also working to bring online another 4000 or so CPU's in the next few weeks. ![]() |
