Hi.
I've had my Lenovo laptop for a couple years and it has Vista 32-bit on it. I think it runs pretty good, but I'm not a gamer so I don't know about that. I realize it's a "budget" laptop because I paid $500 bucks for it, but it's good for what I do with it.
It has a T3400 Dual core Pentium "inside" at 2.16 Ghz and 3 gigs RAM. In laptop computer world is this considered a "good" computer, a "piece of junk" or what? Like I said, for me it runs good and I'd like to add something .... I think it runs BETTER than my current desktop which has XP on it.
So I guess my final question would be, which one of these computers SHOULD run better?
laptop:
Vista 32-bit
Pentium Dual CoreT3400 CPU
internal graphics
3 gigs RAM
Desktop:
XP SP3
Pentium D 2.66 Ghz
2 gigs RAM
NVIDIA 9600 GT 512 MB vid card
I'm guessing the laptop, but I thought desktops should run faster.
P.S. Here's my new system that I'm building this week or next:
It should SMOKE both of those (I'd guess)
Windows 7 64-bit
ASUS P8P67 (vanilla) main board
Intel i5 2500k CPU
8 gigs DDR 3 RAM
500gb HDD (main drive)
500 watt PSU (Antec)
NVIDIA 9600 GT 512mb vid card (from xp system) (for now)
