Which gaming laptop for $2000?

[joejccva]

I'm looking to get a new gaming laptop that will be about $2000 or so. Can't really go higher than that and I want it to be able to play MMO games.

I was looking at Alienware (overpriced), some Dell's, MSI, and CyberpowerPC laptops but I wanted some advice.

I want 4GB ram and do I need Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium? I run a wireless network at home.

Also is it worth it to get a "dual" video card system in the new laptop?


Please help.

Thanks!

Asus just came out with a gaming laptop. I think it's called the W90. It has 2x4870 video cards and an 18" or thereabouts screen. Last I saw it was around $2200 USD. Rumor has it that someone had a quad core in it overclocked and it scored 20k in 3dmark06. The average seems closer to the 15-16k mark. Good luck looking.

Toshiba has a few X305's with different configs...

I use an sli model and love it.. But there are non SLI with 1GB 9800GTX's in there as well

Check them out Here at Toshiba Direct

At Best Buy, Gateway P-7805u. Seems to be about the best bang for the buck, 1149. I understand that Gateway is about to release that model with a Quadcore processor, you can preorder now. 1799 is the price I have heard on that one.

Another vote for Gateway FX laptops. Great for the money.
