Standard Specs Q

[Jumpman62114]

Hey all, i just have the usual specs questions regarding the laptop im getting this week and whether or not it'll be able to run h2v, here are the specs:

HP Pavilion DV9339 Series
1.7 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (t550 i think)
2 GB ram
nVidia GeForce 7600 w/ 256 MB dedicated
Windows Vista Home premium
17' in screen

I kno these types of q's get annoying but i hope someone can give me a good estimate. Thnx

You'll probably be able to run it ok on medium to medium high settings. That processor is a bit slow though.

You'll do fine. On my laptop it's the same, but the cpu is .1 ghz slower. I can run it at 1280x720 medium settings 4xAA and keep a steady 20-30 fps. Don't listen to muffin, the cpu is not slow. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Xetsuei is right, just because H2V requires a 2.00Ghz Pentium 4 does not mean that the processor is slow. It is a Core 2 Duo - that 1.7Ghz C2D easily kills and owns a 3.00Ghz Pentium 4 outright.

The video card is good, so you're fine.

Enjoy H2V.

It'll run fine. Also, how much are you paying for your lappy?

Im paying $1300 for this one, pretty solid deal i think. Thanks for the input.

$1300 for this laptop? Excellent deal with excellent specs. You won't run JUST H2V well - you will run many games very well.

Heh, I got my DV9235nr for $1089.99 at bestbuy. Great deal imo.

duel core is BS, AMD ALL THE WAY

(me friend has a 3.8GHz Duel Core and my AMD 3800+ x2(2 physical proccessors) out performs his all day long (and half the night) mabe its because hes running server 2003:rolleyes:)

Kiwi, the processor opinion wars shouldn't be started here.

To be honest, I've been using AMD's since I was 12, never owned an intel computer of my own. But I have used Intel computers quite a bit in my time, and I'd have to say, that the performance and speed these days are hit in great spots in such different categories, that you cannot really choose a favorite.

On my next build, I might have to save up for two PC's... I sort of want the best of both worlds.

Yes, duEl core is BS. But duAl core is far from it. And just FYI I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ and it's a dual-core processor. Intel's Core 2 Duo rules - its 1.86Ghz E6320 outperforms my X2 3800+ so much it's not even funny. By the way, duel and dual have two different meanings. A duel is a showdown fight between two opponents, while dual is an adjective to show that there is two of something.

And if you think Intel Core 2 Duo is BS, you must have seriously overclocked that AMD X2 3800+.

now back on topic: I feel kind of ashamed that I bought my laptop too early (2.13Ghz Intel Pentium M 7700 Centrino Solo, 1 GB DDR2 667Mhz RAM, Geforce 6600 256MB and 80 GB 7200rpm hard drive). It cost me $1600 from cyberpower, but when I bought it, Intel hadn't even shipped out their Core 1 Duos.
