I has a laptop and needs ur advise

Mach2 · 09-13-2009, 11:01 PM

Im at work and usually have some downtime and want to get in some gaming. My laptop specs are as follows:

AMD Turion X2 2.10 ghz 3 GB ram 64 bit
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

If you want moar specifics the model # is

Gateway MD2614u

I would like to do some gaming and im not sure what my system is capable of. Ive also been considering buying a USB controller. Any thoughts or suggestions on games tips or tricks on which games would run best or controllers to purchase.

I like shooters notably Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Grandtheft 4 auto is cool maybe Bioshock is fun. I hate sports games btw.

Thanks

tl;dr

suggest games for my medium speed laptop and possible controllers and I like to shoot stuff

Laptops suck **** for gaming. I have a decent desktop and it pulls like 60-80fps with vegas 2. My laptop would have done like 25

World in conflict is win, but I can tell you that if you wanted to play it on your laptop, it would not end well.

Yea I kind of figured that, it doesnt have to be a recent game tho just a fun one. I know my laptops no powerhouse but Im thinking it can run stuff from 2-3 years back thats decent.

your laptop won't get you 2 far but depending on if you are shopping for a new one, i am trying to sell this lil guy:

Asus Gaming laptop. LF best reasonable offer!

its a damn fine laptop and i really need to sell it. i have a desktop and don't use it anymore. pm me if you have any offer to make!

also if you want to stretch out the performance on yours, i have found this driver gives a slight performance increase:

OmegaDrivers.net - Home of the ATI & NVIDIA Omega Drivers. Home

GL!

I had a few asus laptops through college, back in my OCing days. Good units.

As for games you can play... This is the best game ever. Seriously.
