Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Nice upgrades for Ole Sallie for sure.
If you are just looking to contiue to play CoD 1.3 and UO I would go with a cheaper laptop for sure. But, if your anything like me, you will still go over the top...hahaha

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
CoD1 and UO are amazing games, but we've got to face it, it's dying out.
You have to look to the future. There are many other great games out there that require better computers, like CoD4, for example.

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Just to give everyone an idea, this is what I'm playing on:
Gateway NV53 laptop
AMD Athlon II dual core @2.0GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
500GB HD
ATi Radeon HD 4200M - no actual dedicated VRAM, shares 256MB of system RAM for graphics processing
I can play the game seamlessly (ping permitting) unless I'm running a system scan in the background, then I start glitching. Payed just over $500 for it and haven't had any problems with it yet. However, I would recommend spending around $500 if you're going for a laptop; you can get cheaper but don't expect great results. A friend of mine bought a laptop for school for around $300 and, sadly, it can barely run CoD1, he glitches even when it's just 1v1 over a LAN connection. With $500 you can get a decent laptop, but you could build a good desktop. It's all about what you prefer, just don't go cheap with technology, it'll cost you later.

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Pun the yamaha venture royal used to be a dream of mine...that was one nice machine for sure. start looking around on the web for a bike....I found sally with only 740 miles on her and a remarkable $6k lower than retail. I could turn around and sell her for more than I paid 2 years from now! My blood pressure is at it lowest right after I get off of mine. Very good for stress relief and feeling free.
Just start looking around on the web. You would be surprised.
But like I said in a previous post, u dont have to get one....as soon as ole Marn gets him one, your house is the halfway mark for marn and me....u just have the biscuits ready brother
Merc, yes I have to have to go over the top too

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Hey Frankie, the guy who i ask sometimes about my pc and as I look for the future to have a queb core... why because the fan on my own is always working he told me because it's a pent 4 so I can't got more far (farier???) lol with this pc sooooooooooo I told him that my cajun buddy is looking for more than my future queb core with 8 ram gig, that guy from crocodile country in usa talk about 16 ram gig put in lappietop.
He toooooold me it is not good for game to have a lappytopppp to play game FIRSSSSSTTTTT! but allllllllllllsooooooo because the lapttttttttttopppppppppp will loose its value fastly, fasttttellyyyyyyyy he said. I told him you know those guys from pirhana ryanna country are strange and speak strange sometimes sooooo.... He told me, well I am sure he drives an Hard-lay dat-vinson I told him YOU ARE RIGHT MANNNNN ( he drives an HONDA)
So it is what he thinks. I just know that some friends in the past, I would say euhhh 2 hehe have been disaaaapointeeeed when they saw the value of their TAPLOTTT losing value but anyway you will just have to sell wheels of your HATTABOYYY BADLYSON to pay you a real pc.
So, I thik I am going to drink coffee now and stop my drinking wine, BYE BYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE
To finish: GOOD LUCK!!!!
Ooopsss sorry I have to go my doc is calling me

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Frank, we talked about this last night. Here's what I found in your price range. You wouldn't have to change anything to this computer (ok, maybe the mouse...)

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
I think I have the solution. Buy one of each and send them to Maine and I will thoroughly test them. I will present you with the results at the conclusion of this testing and send you the best of the lot.

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Hey woooo! I was thinking to bring it here and testing it outside on the gallery during 2 weeks. No dust for sure inside with our temperature around 0 degrees.
Also, it's gonna be long for you Frankie to choose the good one. I've checked the Graphic card offer by Romanian is not perfect for some people on the web I saw.... maybe they are too fancy I was looking to compare my view card beside that one
But one thing is sure, as I told you you can buy it and if it don't do the job, you just have to organize some poot poot potleyson for the childs around your streets and ask them some pennys for. Don't forget to ask to their parents before for sure. Ask for a permit to the city too.
I still have my first nitendo. Are you interested by?
P.S. I think that this Swank is a little bit jealous of MY GOOD BARSHOTS ON HIM
Romanian, is there a on/off switch on this machine?
Euh, I think I am going to prepare my dinner, bye bye

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
I dunno Frankie ,.... for as often as you shoot me up I'm thinking perhaps we need to slow you down? Maybe a nice old Pentium 3 machine with 512mb of ram? What did Marn do with his old system? probably get it cheap? I'll call your wife and let her know we found a cheaper solution,....

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Frank, the price is $1,528.98 for that configuration. (This is why you need a better screen, so you can see larger pictures)
I think if we get the cheapest card HP has to offer for that build and then get you a separate graphic card for you to install, it would be amazing.
It has a 160GB SSD (Solid State Drive) + a 1TB SATA Hard Drive. You install all your programs (games) on the SSD so you can access them faster, and use the 1TB SATA Hard Drive for storage.

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Guess what I'm getting Monday....Guess what i'm getting Monday....Guesss what I'm getting Monday....da da da da da! (in a "blues clues" singing voice!)
Well fellas, ole frankie has decided and got er ordered. I really looked hard at the desk tops fellas, really did, but taking in consideration of my being used to cod on a laptop for 8 years, the portability and convenience of having just one computer to deal with and the fact that no matter how I stacked it up, a desktop with the same graphics card, cpu and memory would cost as much after i added in the monitor. and of course I play cod and do all my computer stuff in the living room sitting on my couch across from momma bears couch.....
This is the baby I decided on and will add a solid state hard drive as the secondary hd to load windows 7 and COD on for a very fast response(found one for 99 bucks) and have already ordered another 4 gig chip to bring er to 16 gigs(just cuz!) Don't let me forget to send in my $100 rebate!!!

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
It was your decision, Frank. I hope that processor doesn't bottleneck your system.

I don't think he is going to have to worry about that. That processor (quad core) and laptop has turbo boost technology. It is clocked at 2.2 GHz but w/turbo boost it will be at 3.1 Ghz. Meaning when his processor is taxed, it will increase automatically. COD/UO will run like a dream and won't need turbo boost. Like Unka Frank needs turbo boost to get more kills....NOT. I wish that new lappie had squid fail so when he got near me it would slow down to .000000001 GHz.
Anyway, although I am with the others on getting a desktop instead of a lappie, I can understand and appreciate your decision Frank. Cheers brother!

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Don't forget to be surprised when you will open the box, Say thanks to your wife, give her a big hugggg and say I can't beleive it, I can't beleive it, I can't beleive it, not more than 3 times or she will think that she made a wrong decision.
Don't forget to share it with your kids, your neighbors and your wife and to shine it everyday.
And now the problem will come with the bike, your tricycle or scooter I mean. It will be jealous
So, I can suggest you to bring your taplopp on your bike and the problem is resolved
Ok now don't forget to send me my paid to have made this post Frank!

Re: Uncle Frankie Looking for a new killing machine
Do you think your current laptop is freezing on you because it's overheating?
I'd invest in a laptop cooler.
