Re: Official Computer Questions Thread

I have a question for you computer gurus.

My son is going away to college next year and we want to get him a laptop. He will use it for schoolwork as well as connecting to the internet. The laptop will also be used extensively to play some of the new role playing games that require a lot of memory (I think).

Anyway could one of you guys run down some of the numbers (like processor types and SD RAM etc.,etc.), I should be aware of as I search for this computer? Also ballpark figure on how much I should expect to pay?


Also his desktop is having trouble keeping up w/ the games already. Are there any upgrades I could buy for that computer to speed it up? We bought the Dell about 3 years ago and it's a mid rangetype unit. If you need exact numbers I'll look it up.

Thanks
