The gaming laptop is coming of age! it’s constant
increasing in popularity as performance quality advances
up. Gamers now regularly consider laptops or notebooks
when searching for the perfect gaming machine.
With each new generation of laptops we are seeing some
new developments: dual-core laptops, PCI Express,
Sonoma chipset, larger storage, larger RAM, faster
CPU, better battery life and better wireless connections
including a cellular modem. All welcome news for players.
and laptop lovers alike.
Generally, gamers are a very demanding group, they know
their computers and know what they want in their
computers. Most gamers like to order their gaming laptop
with your own specifications and settings. in that light,
if you carefully examine the main points that players consider
By setting up or building your Dream Machine, you
have a good plan for the best gaming machine.
Since laptop technology changes every two years or so,
it’s probably wise to buy a laptop that can be easily
updated as new products come online. So consider the
upgradeable factor in any notebook you plan to buy.
Now, let’s look at some of these key game factors:
GRAPHICS
It must have the best/latest/fastest graphics on the market. DUH!
Serious gamers are worried about graphics, obsessed probably
be a better word. That’s right! Graphics or quality of
the graphics chipset in your laptop will be your first area
of consideration and will largely determine the performance of the game
of your PC.
Please choose the latest graphics chipset and also check if
you can upgrade your graphics card on the particular machine
you are thinking of buying. Many machines allow it.
Here are some graphics chipsets that are highly rated: ATi Mobility
Radeon 9700, ATI Mobility FireGL V3200, or Intel Graphics Media
900 throttle.
ATi Mobility Radeon 9700 is a high quality graphics or visual card.
processing unit (VPU) found in many next-generation laptops. It’s
will give you higher performance at a lower power level, saving
Battery power.
It makes your laptop capable of many functions: 3D games,
Widescreen HDTV, dynamic presentations, mobile video editing studio
and graphics processor.
Many laptops now come with integrated graphics, where the components
they interact and sometimes share, especially memory. If you want
a 3D gaming laptop — check the amount of video RAM —
this is memory dedicated to graphics or video applications.
Other common graphics chipsets are: STMicro, NVIDIA, 3D Labs, Matrox,
Trident S3 and SIS.
RAM
Get as much RAM as possible. TYPE!
RAM or Random Access Memory will determine the amount of graphics
your laptop will be able to handle. is better
get as many as possible on your machine or whatever you
can afford.
It is generally accepted that you need at least 256 MB to
Windows XP and Mac OS X. You will only need 128 MB for others
operating systems on Windows or Mac.
RAM or the amount of RAM in your laptop is extremely
important if you want to handle heavy graphic files or want to play games
games on your notebook. The more RAM you have, the more apps
you will be able to drive. Some laptops now come with up to 2GB
of 533MHz DDR2 RAM!
DDR2 SDRAM: It is a new standard that can boost conventional SDRAM
memory up to speeds well above 200 MHz and beyond. For example, him
IBM ThinkPad T43, thanks to the Sonoma Chipset or platform has
533MHz DDR2 SDRAM
This is much better than standard SDRAM, which exceeds 150-
166 MHz and DDR SDRAM which starts at 200 MHz and goes up to around
400MHz
Video RAM or VRAM is a special memory used by video adapters in

graphics on your laptop. This is useful if you want to play.
many of the latest 3D video games on your laptop.
It is somewhat different from ordinary RAM because it can be
accessed by two different devices at once, allowing screen updates
while the video processor processes new data. VRAM provides better
graphics but is more expensive than normal RAM.
SPEED
You need the fastest computer money can buy. Period!
To get the most out of your last
gaming computer should have the fastest speed you can get
or pay. Your ultimate PC must be able to process and handle
the latest 3D video games with ease. There is nothing so annoying
as if your PC freezes in the middle of a great gaming action!
Therefore, the speed of your processor is very important.
CPU or Central Processing Unit, you probably know it as
the processor! It is the heart or rather the brain of your
notebook or computer. It does all the data processing and applications on your computer. Since it does most of the work, it’s usually the most expensive part of your laptop.
Go with SATA!
SATA is a type of hard drive and stands for Serial Advanced Technology
Architecture. It was developed by a whole group of companies, including
Seagate, Intel, Maxtor, Dell and others. SATA transmits serial data
(in a single stream) as opposed to PATA or Parallel ATA, which is commonly
called an IDE hard drive.
Serial ATA hard drives consume less power and are ideal for laptops
computers, they are also more advanced than the PATA hard drives that
uses multiple data streams, go figure! Purpose Serial Technology leads
data in a single stream and, unlike PATA, is not limited to one
clock speed, Serial transfers data packets nearly 30 times faster than
parallel.
If getting the most out of your laptop is one of your goals, go for a SATA

Intel Pentium M processors are commonly found in many
notebooks and laptops. When in doubt, also go with a Pentium!
The speed of microprocessors is measured in MHz.
MHz is short for megahertz. One MHz equals one million cycles.
per second. The speed of processors, generally known as clock speed,
it is measured in megahertz (MHz) or currently in gigahertz (GHz).
The higher the clock speed, the faster the computer will process
apps and data. Determine the power of your laptop
the computer will be Processor speeds for notebooks or laptops are
steadily increasing, not exactly the same as a desktop, but the gap
it is rapidly narrowing. Speeds of 3.4 GHz or more.
Don’t forget to ask or check the speed of the hard drive! at 7,200 rpm hard
the drive is faster than a 4200-rpm or 5400-rpm drive and generally offers better
performance.
DISPLAY
You need the sharpest, brightest display screen or all of the above
points are moot!
Screen quality is also extremely important for your games.
experience. Make sure the resolution and display quality of
your laptop can handle the graphics for 3D gaming.
What to consider…
SVGA resolution. Simply put, computer images are made up of
dots, the more dots you have, the better the image.
SVGA resolution is made up of 800 x 600 dots.
Many laptops have XGA (1024 by 768 dots) or
SXGA (1280 x 1024 dots), these resolutions will give
a higher quality image. WXGA stands for Widescreen XGA.
TFT active matrix screen. TFT means thin film
transistors and many high-end laptops use
(TFT) active matrix liquid crystal displays.
If display quality is your main reason to buy
a notebook, it is best to do the ‘old vision test’
and check the image quality first hand and decide
for you. Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony and others
are known for their high quality monitors, this
the quality is also present on the screen of your laptop

So when shopping for your perfect gaming laptop, remember this:
Graphics + Ram + Speed + Display = Perfect Gaming Notebook
Please consider all of the above factors before purchasing or setting up
your perfect gaming machine. There is every chance that you
you’ll get a premium gaming laptop that
Give you hours and hours of pure gaming bliss!
