Any laptop better than this for FS9?

Featured Replies

I was looking around for a laptop on which I can play FS9. FSX is not on the cards for at least another 12-18 months.I am using FS9 with ASVv6 weather, complex payware planes like PMDG, PSS, Feelthere, etc., payware sceneries including the framekillers from Simflyers, Ultimate night environment, and LOTS LOTS LOTS LOTS of AI traffic (although I switch off GA in busy areas like LAX, NYC, LON, etc). Display settings not always to the extreme right though.Here's what I found on the market:Asus VX1 LamborghiniProcessor: Intel

Mozart,I run fs9 on a laptop - hp zd8000, p4-3.2, 1 gig ddr2 pc4200 ram, 5400 rpm 80 gig hard drive, hi-res 1680x1050 screen, 256meg ati x600 video card. I've been on the whole very happy with this machine.I'm looking to upgrade the laptop to to following- hp dv8000, 2.0 duo-core, 1 gig ddr2 pc5300 ram, sata 100gig 5400 rpm hd, hi-res screen, and the following video card - a nvidia go 7400 512meg. I know very little about this video card, especially in a laptop and there is next to no info available on it. My local computer shop has this in stock. Of course the shop claims this is the ultimate laptop gaming setup.I am not sure whether the perfomance increse will justify the cost to get this new laptop. I could use more hd space so another option is just to upgrade to a 100gig 7200 rpm hitachi with 8 megs buffer but also I am not sure how much performance improvement will occur with this. As a side note on a previous laptop I upgraded the hd from a 4200 to a 5400 rpm drive and the performance improvement was very good - enough that I kept that machine for another year. Wonder if going from 5400 to 7200 rpm would net a similar improvement.Also thinking about upping the ram to 2 gigs.The decision is whether to upgrade the entire laptop or just those bits that are upgradable on my current laptop and wait for a year or so til a proven gaming type laptop running vista is available.I would welcome any comments, thoughts or suggestions. Many thanks.Dave
