Sager 8887 and Farcry

[hoofhearted]

I am looking to get this Sager 8887 I found on ebay.

Item #3472284221

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=177&item=3472284221

THe thing that impressed me about this laptop was the ati 9000 with 128MB RAM. I have a desktop with a 9800 and love to play Farcry. Will this notebook be enough to play. I am not worried about having all the settings maxed out.

Is this a good price? Are there other places besides ebay with deals on these notebooks (Sagers in particular). I have found alienware, voodoo and hypersonic to be too expensive. I found the sager site, but when I finish building the minimal system I hit the $2K price mark. I am looking for a notebook where I can have a 128MB video card ati brand, large screen, and 2 or more harddrive capability.

Thanks for helping a n00b looking for advice from the experts in here.

Dude...

As far as i know... that is NOT a good deal for your purposes

For that money and a little more (1500$), you can get a Dell 9100 with a ATI 9700 with 128 mb ram. A MUCH more capable gpu.

See... For 1383 $, You get a brand new Dell 9100

Intel® Pentium® 4 w/ HT Technology 2.8GHz,
15.4-in. WXGA
512MB RAM, 400MHz
128MB DDR ATI's MOBILITY? RADEON? 9700 AGP 8X Graphics
40GB Hard Drive
24X CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive
1 Year Limited Warranty plus 1 Year Mail-In Service

Much better than the 1375$ Sager.
