I was surfing the web yesterday for the most affordable gaming pc systems around and this site came up. The prices for the specs you can get are really awesome, but I read a lot of horror stories about their customer service too. These computers sound too good to be true. Are they?

wow. thanks guys. yeah, my gut tells me to go with 4. i was just wondering if 8 gives me anything spectacular.

i'm pinching pennies now, saving up for a new laptop. i wouldn't get a laptop, but i'm moving around a lot lately (college) and it's really better for me. i just want it to be able to play fun games too :)

How much better is it to have 8 Gb ram than 4 Gb? Is it worth 600 dollars?

Haha, any comments?

Given how fast technology changes these days, is now a good time to buy a new gaming laptop or would it be smart to wait until better stuff comes around?

Submitted for your consideration,

Okay, thanks guys. I'll definitely take that advice to heart. I just want to make sure. I heard they optimized the game in a patch that just came out, 1.3 or something.

Can my PC run Empire: Total War? I mean run this game without a hitch. Intel Core2 Quad Q9000 2.0GHz processor Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) Dual Nvidia GTX 280M SLI graphics 1920x1200 (1200p) 17" screen 4 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1066 MHz 500GB 7,200 RPM HDD DVD Drive I'm concerned about the 2.0 processor. Will this be a problem? The game requires a 2.4 single core processor.

I am thinking about buying a new laptop right now, seeming I've had my old desktop for 5 years now and it doesn't quite do justice to all the new games. I'm not an avid gamer, but I do play the Total War series and just recently I got Empire: Total War for my Birthday. I know my desktop won't be able to handle it (it can barely play Medieval 2: Total War.) System requirements for the game include a 2.4 GHz processor. I've built a machine to have all the other specs the game requires (see below.) I want some advice on whether I should get an Intel Core2 Duo T9600 2.8GHz processor or an Intel Core2 Quad Q9000 2.0GHz processor for my laptop. The prices are relatively similar so money doesn't matter. I'm just looking at performance and maybe energy efficiency. I'm pretty new to this so it might be a stupid question. Any advice I can get is appreciated though. Thanks :) Alienware M17x Intel Core2 Quad Q9000 2.0GHz processor or Intel Core2 Duo T9600 2.8GHz processor Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) Dual Nvidia GTX 280M SLI graphics 1920x1200 (1200p) 17" screen 4 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1060 MHz 500GB 7,200 RPM HDD DVD Drive I know this machine is pricey, but I've been saving for a long time now and I almost have enough :)

Oh, I barely put the specs up and that's probably the part you'll want to see most. I'm leaning towards the Quad processor so that's what I'll use. I know this machine is pricey, but I've been saving for a long time now and I almost have enough :) Here it is: Alienware M17x Intel Core2 Quad Q9000 2.0GHz processor Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) Dual Nvidia GTX 280M SLI graphics 1920x1200 (1200p) 17" screen 4 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1060 MHz 500GB 7,200 RPM HDD DVD Drive All I really want is to be able to play Empire: Total War, but I want it to run without a hitch. Is this system enough?
