Laptop Cpu

[RaMz121]

Does anyone have an opinion on laptop cpu's and which ones yield the best performance or a company that sells great laptops for gaming

Pentium M.

All others are 2nd tier.

BEST performance would be on an athlon 64 cpu but you'd have pretty bad battery life, a great balance between performance and battery life would be the Pentium M. For the most part, however, you will be limited by the video card, not the cpu. So as long as you get some decent video you should be OK performance wise.

I have a Gateway 7406GX
with a 3200+ 64bit, 9600 128MB dedicated, 512MB
and it does nicely on mid range games...its not a top gamers laptop, but its a very good cheap DTR....
I wouldn't recommand laptops for gaming, laptops made especially for gaming are heavy and overly expensive and to add to that, they are not easily upgradeable (most).
You could always go with something alienware
but...you should rethink the whole laptop for gaming idea...

pentium m 2.13's on that dell gen 2 shows very nice numbers.

yeah, the gen 2 is a VERY VERY nice laptop, the price is way of out there, though

wait until they release some coupons.

I'd go with the Pentium-M as long as you get one with decent graphics. I just got a pentium-m (1.6ghz Dothan, 400mhz FSB) and put it in a SFF system using the CT-479 adaptor, using clockgen it is running 100% stable at 2.4ghz on stock voltage paired with a 6600GT, and outscores my P4 @3.82ghz with a 6800GT in 3DMark01.

The AMD64 Turion 2.2 at 35watts would be king except you can't seem to get it, in a good laptop yet so the Pentium M Dothan is king still. Gaming is awesome and the battery life is awesome. Good combination!
