laptop question

[Hescominsoon]

My take on gaming computers is that the video card and RAM are the most important considerations. I decided before I bought my wife a Dell laptop for school, I will not get the minimum RAM anymore. I get the max available. As for video cards, I get the 2nd in line for the best on the market and prefer ATI cards. Anything under $300 is steep, but worth the FPS in the long run.

actually you are in error there. Ram is not as important overall as video card and cpu...ram is third. The cpu must be fast enough to keep the video card fed if it isn't your video card waits for the rest of the system therefore lowering your overall performance. With ram as cheap as it is that will take care of itself..go for hte fastest vpu you can then get a video card to match your cpu's abilaity to feed it.

Like you said yourself, Ram is cheap. CPU's are where the cost is. I suppose if you have a money tree in your backyard, you should get the top end video card, cpu, and ram. But for my budget, my approach works.
