-4GB of RAM

-250GB (5400 rpm)

-Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (up to 384 MB Total Available Graphics Memory with 4096 MB system memory) Evil or Very Mad Confused

Is this laptop good enough just for DOTA?

Yes, but the graphics processor is poor if you want to play much newer games, especially FPSs.

Xiao Bao Ge SG

Just plan to install DOTA and Medal of Honor only in my laptop. But I kinda disappointed with the graphic card. Crying or Very sad

Do you think it can support Civilization?

dakkon_blackblade SG

Should be fine. But to be safe, you should try to go for at least a 256 Mb dedicated graphics card.

Xiao Bao Ge SG

I asked the promoter guy that whether can upgrade the graphic card or not but he said very hard but possible....I thought it's integrated liao, supposed kenot upgrade liao rite?

casshern SG

very hard? u getting a mini tower or Barebone?

integrated but u still can buy a graphic card and render the integrated GPU useless.

4GB ram sounds overkill to me lei

dakkon_blackblade SG

Yes, if it's a desktop I think the graphics card can easily be modified or added.

4Gb is not overkill. Windows Vista (I assume it's using that OS) is a well-known resource guzzler.

Xiao Bao Ge SG

You mean laptop or desktop??

Xiao Bao Ge SG

I’m still considering XP or Vista….can someone enlighten me?

casshern SG

i hear somewhere that Vista's bottle neck is still at 2GB ram though, i could be wrong

casshern SG

desktop also have Barebones and mini towers. they are smaller in size but harder to upgrade.

casshern SG

skip vista, unless u really want the eye candy

wishboy SG

XP

unless u wan the the genuine aero interface (glass-like) and the Flip3D, then get vista premium/ultimate (not home basic)

Xiao Bao Ge SG

Damn, wish the laptop can play Call of Duty 4....lol.. Laughing
