is the T43P good for online games?

#1 Post by newmanm » Wed Dec 21, 2005 7:57 pm

I'm thinking of buying a T43P. I am going to use this laptop for business, but there are several online games I'd like to play, including Second Life.
is the T43P good for gaming? are there any hardware issues I should worry about with this laptop?

While I don't have a T43p, I do have a very efficient T43. I have played Half-Life 2, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, Doom 3, The Sims, and far Cry on it. I have not noticed one problem; no issues with the framerate or installs, or lag whilst playing online. :)

does that model have a dedicated graphics card?
maybe I don't have to spend the extra money for the P model.

A 64MB x300 ATI RADEON; Yup, I should think that works pretty darn good. :)

I play World of Warcraft on my T43 (no P). 1.7Ghz, 1GB RAM, X300 64MB.

1400x1050 and some graphics settings on high. Plays great, gets me by on long business trips :(
