Well, but a computer usually comes with a better graphics which
the laptop cant do due to heat / battery consumption consideration
on the go. With a lousier graphics on laptop, it usually wont do
well for (open)BVE even if you have a 64bit OS (4GB RAM + Intel
Core 2 Duo or similar class 64bit CPU. PS: Under 4GB RAM still can
have 64bit OS so long as with a 64bit CPU but does not take
advantage of 64bit computing that handles more RAM.), which is
happening to me where I self-pwned the EWL is lagging especially
Bugis - Raffles Place due to advanced tunneling and TBM style in
between CTH - RFP.
Eh, I advertise my own work progress le. :D
In short, a bigger HDD can indeed store more routes and trains,
but if your computer / laptop is lagging like hell, what the hell
you get a better HDD to store these high quality routes when you
cannot enjoy them well? (I know HDD free space can be used for swap
memory, as known as a "replacement" or a proper term, virtual
memory, but that is slower than real RAM which is not very good for
HDD anyway.)
No wonder you take so long to reply to posts. In conclusion, a
computer is possibly better than the laptop, you promote your
routes in your posts and you should get a bigger memory space or
RAM instead of buying a HDD. Either that or upgrade your graphics
card. Idk. I'm confused...
