    Need Advice

    My brother thinking of getting a laptop. He needs one on a budget. He already knows a min of 1 gig of ram, but he not sure which cpu and graphic card is good enough for him. He wants to be able to play a few of his games with it. So it needs a graphics card that runs 2-3 year old games well. And its needs to be able to hook up with his wireless router.

    AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology MK-36
    Genuine Windows® XP Home
    No Express Upgrade to Windows Vista Selected
    15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife™
    1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 Dimm
    80GB Hard Drive
    8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability
    ATI RADEON® Xpress1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (Integrated)

    Thats one laptop he looked at, since I know nothing about the cpu or the graphcis card i couldn't help him. And reviews for the cpu was scarce and not much on the graphcis, other than its dosen't perform as well as non intergrated solutions... who would of thougt

    A foolish man claims to know all, but a wise man accepts he doesn't.
