Any opinions on these laptops - Gateway M-6862 or M-6864FX
« on: 2008 September 04, 07:30:06 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Best Buy has the M-6864FX for $799.  The M-6862 is $699.


Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5750 (2.0 GHz)
15.4" screen
4 GB Ram
Windows Vista 64 bit
ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 2600 - 512 MB dedicated ram

The more expensive one has a 7200 rpm 200 GB hard drive.  The other has a 5400 rpm 250 GB hard drive.

Any opinions?  Will I notice the faster hard drive?  I currently have an ATI Mobility 9700/128 dedicated ram, so the graphics should definitely be a step up.

I am unawesome, but I do know that EAxis suggests a processor with a speed higher than 2.0 GHz if you plan to play Sims 2 using Vista.  I don't have the graphics capability that the listed computers have, and I have no problems.

Thanks for the input.  I wasn't thinking about the additional Vista complications.

I went ahead and got the cheaper model, I'll post how well it runs the sims.
