Muggert Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Well I've gotten a good price on the computer above... I think I saw a Core i3 sandy with 4 GB ram ... That isnt better right? However would you highly recommend a Core i5 sandy with 4 GB over the one I mentioned? I mean, is the difference that high that I should pay more for a sandy with less ram and gfx?

However would you highly recommend a Core i5 sandy with 4 GB over the one I mentioned? I mean, is the difference that high that I should pay more for a sandy with less ram and gfx? I think, for your uses, you don't even need a graphic card. The sandy onboard can run FM 3D on high and probably oblivion on medium too. Going onboard will make a massive diff to price and battery life. Try to get a i5 2410m. More future proof. Or i7 2630m. 4GB RAM is enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggert Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Alright i'll look again for a laptop with sandybridge processor... Probably gonna go for a i5, since the i7 is a bit too expensive ... I'll get back to you ... If I can't find one I still think it's a good price I've gotten on the above mentioned laptop... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd be better off with this one? Intel i5 2410 4 GB ram GeForce 520 And what difference would it do with 6 GB ram instead of 4? Also should I prefer a sandy i3 over a regular i5? Once again, thanks for the guidance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishu Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 4GB is more than enough for general use and FM. This one looks good. Similar price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishu Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Acer i7 4GB Intel HD3000 @ $805 17" version of above with 8GB ATI HD6650 @ $1188 MSI i7 6GB Intel HD3000 @ $849 The Nvidia 520m you mentioned in your post #1556 is just slightly ahead of Intel HD3000. ATI HD6650 is much better than 520m and is close to 540m. I would get the MSI as you won't game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Seems like the i7 is a lot more expensive in Denmark than in other countries :-( ..

0gris Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Response to anyone asking how many leagues you could load etc.: All of them As for a reasonable speed i'd say up to a 100,000 players should be the limit for a decent speed(then again, it all depends on what you consider "fast") Asking people on advice here for anything but 3D performance is pretty moot as what you consider fast game processing wont necesarily be the same for someone else. The only way to find out what you consider to be "fast" is to load up the game and try it out yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel HD3000 (comes with K series sandybridge CPUs. 2500k is £10 more than 2500) is even better than HD2000. I would only get onboard if you don't wanna play games.

yugo23 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 If there is someone with i5 2500 / i7 2600 (or some similar CPU) , could you do a little test for me.Here is save game, with ALL leagues loaded: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y3XSGK12 All you have to do is go on holiday for a week, and measure how much time is needed for processing. It's important not to resign from current club, as it affects processing speed a lot. It takes just under 7 minutes for my Phenom II X4 @ 3,6 GHz to finish the processing. Should take around 4 at stock for 2500k and 2 with 2600k. I had a chance today to test this on my friend's i7-2600. It took 4:45 minutes at stock frequencies, and 4:09 minutes at 3,9 GHz.

[c] Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hello chaps, Earlier in the thread, these two laptops: which laptop?Acer Timeline X 5820T Notebook - Core i5-480M(2.66GHz, 2.933GHz Turbo), 15.6"WXGA, 4GB-RAM, 500GB-HDD, DVD-DL, WiFi-n, Windows 7 Home Premium or HP Pavilion G6-1030TX Notebook CPU Intel Core i3-380M Processor 2.53GHz RAM 4GB ...were rated as 30 and 25 leagues respectively. Apologies if I've missed it, but what's the view on the Core i3-380UM? Assume 4GB of RAM (or 8 if it helps, which I suspect it won't). Would the on-board graphics be able to run the 3D match engine? How many leagues could it run? Same two questions, if you don't mind, for the Core i3-370M (i.e. the one below the 380M). Unfortunately size/weight of laptop is a major concern for me, and getting a Core i5 (or more recent Core i3) in anything smaller than a 15"/3kg laptop for less than £800 doesn't seem to be possible.

[c] Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Ishu, you're a marvel. I'll have a bit of a think about those two that you found - the things I was looking at were more along the lines of the Acer Aspire Timeline 1830T (Core i3-380UM, 1.4kg, 11.6"), or the Toshiba Satellite R630 (Core i3-370M, 1.4kg, 13.3"). Both around £500. Basically I want to go as small as I can while still getting a good game - if I thought there was a netbook that could run 10 leagues and have a go at the 3D match engine then I'd be looking at that!
