Yay, finally got myself a laptop!!!!! Its awesome!! I love it!!! erm yeah, that about it, I never thought I would even be able to play games on it [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I loaded up Worms 3d (first thing I saw) and it was (Very slightly) choppyat some parts :( And I even decided to install Breed to see how that would go [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I could fire the Ubergun whilst the ship flies arounf that radar island on the first level, then we landed and it was un bearable, so I did what all inteligent people should do..Installed the Omega drivers!!!! and the game runs prefectly as do most, which im happy with ;)
Just thought id let you all know, and ask if there are any tips I should take into mind when it comes to laptop caretaking...
I used to have a pentium 133 ages ago [img]tongue.gif[/img] but the fan dies and parts on the motherboard literally melted :D

Oh, for those who care, its a Dell Latitude D600
1.6 Centrino Pentuim M
512MB RAM
Radeon 9000 mobile
60Gig HDD
DVD/CD-RW
and many other cool features, the main one being that I actualy connect at 52Kb/s...dont laugh [img]tongue.gif[/img] my Desktop connects at 33Kb/s...So it looks like im playing EFU on this beast...When I get HOTU....

Nice I'm hoping to get a laptop soon. Just have to settle in to the house repayments and put some money away for it.

Nice Laptop!

Happy Laptop, HT!!! The hubby and I want to get one someday but right now we have a new car to buy and an anniversary trip to save for so I think that's gonna wait a while. I'll just vicariously enjoy laptop ownership through you! :D

Scroll bar and the lappy together at last, how'd you wicky wicky learn to scroll so fast?

LOL @ that Sigmar...Hey, Hive...what are you gonna name it? Mine's "Lappy de Muerte" and I'm quite pleased with it, though the graphics card and hdd are lagging a bit behind yours.

what graphics card have you got?

Ilander 03-22-2005 03:08 PM

It's a Radeon IGP 345, I'm pretty sure, which is enough to run old-school games and newer games that don't push the envelope too much...

Runs Counter Strike Condition Zero, Unreal Tournament (the original), and BGII well enough, though Morrowind is STILL a little bit beyond it.

It runs it, true, but it also will run KoTOR and NWN...but by "run," I mean lag me to death unless I set all the options all the way down.

damn :(
Hmm, your right, now I need a name.....And Lappy is taken.... I will most likely call it "The beast" as I call everything that I like [img]tongue.gif[/img]
My two SATA drives are called Beast 1 and Beast 2 [img]tongue.gif[/img]
