I want to buy new pc or new labtop,..
For pc i can choose between these 2 cpu's..:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775, 8MB, BOXED m/koeler 255 euro

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz Socket AM2 2MB, BOXED m/koeler 255 euro

What's is the nest choice,..

Or should i just go for a new labtop,.. i do want to play Crysis sometime soon so maybe labtop is little low speed for graphics,..??

Results from ℋiЬЬyℬot™ - "better than Google"

This information was obtained from crysis-online.com

Quote:Crysis will no doubt be a fairly demanding game. It will require a good system to perform well. However, CryEngine2 is very scalable so lower end machines will still stand a chance.

Here is a list of confirmed information...

Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista.
A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required.
CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years.
A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon.
Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ).
Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported.
The following specs are estimates made by myself based on the above mentioned information and other sources. These estimates are NOT official - but are based on official information.

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600 or ATI X1600 - Shader Model 2.0
RAM: 1GB
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-Core CPU (Athlon X2 / Pentium D / Core 2 Duo)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GT or ATI X1800XL Pro (SM 3.0)
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

Hope this helps,

yes MY pc meets the requirements. . but if your going to play that I suggest the Desktop PC like i said a couple of post up^.

I know but i lkie to have a labtop,.. just do not know how to compare labtop with pc..!?
Having a farly fast labtop and a pc with the same spec's does not mean the labtop can keep up with the pc,..!?

I am also waiting for the flashdrive for labtops,.. and or pc's,.. instead of harddive,.. 60 gig flashdrive,..!?

If i would buy labtop i would like to know if it can play 1080i movies connected to "full hdtv"..

Since crysis goes back 2 years with graphics it should run on a fast labtop,..

yeah I know why you would want a loptop. (as I want one SO BAD!) so if you fell you will be able to play it on the loptop. BUY IT! , just a warning as loptops are not gaming machines like the PC's. but if you buy a good mouse and play it on a table it will be fine too.

Vegetano1 · 31/07/2007 05:49 AM

hmmm,.. what about full hdtv playback connected to hdtv..
Maybe all labtops play hdtv fine these days just not to up to date ,..

about that I really don't know but hopefully someone else can tell you. . .

if you really want to play crisis, go with a desktop, otherwise, a laptop might play it ok, but you have to make sure that it's a good gpu built in.

as far as hdtv, most laptops these days play HD content just fine.

Yeah, whether you get a laptop or desktop really depends on your needs. If you get a decent laptop, it should play Crysis, but not necessarily at high or even medium settings.

Consider your needs - how often do you need to move it around? Also consider upgradability options. If you do wish to move it around, do you want a large, cumbersome type laptop with decent specs, or a lighter one with not as good specs?

As for the CPUs above, the Intel is probably better.

Yay, my 7800GT will work :) Though I only have 1GB RAM. For some odd reason, it doesn't seem to run anywhere near well as it should. 2x512 MB DDR500 Kingmax RAM in Dual Channel DDR - the RAM got a really good review, but my RAM appears to run slower than some 1GB DDR400 Generic no Dual Channel RAM... :(

Oh well.
