And IGP from intel if you're lucky can start wc3 and then fail at running it well.

An IGP from Nvidia is a great one, but AMD also makes some decent IGP but usually nvidia has ones that are comparable and a few that are flat out better, too bad they left making igp for amd board and for the most part is being locked out by intel for at least a year to push new products. But it's usually a much safer bet to get a dedicated card.


Dedicated cards all outperform inegrated graphics. The new 790g chipset on am3 boards is pretty powerful, because it can be combined with a 4350 to create a few more frames in hybrid xfire. I would recommend buying a 4350 and a 790g board if the budget is tiny because it will easily outperform any single onboard graphics solution or single 4350.

Wrong lol older cards it's easier to throw aside but some of the dedicated cards on laptop are just pethic and some integrated cards are built like full dedicated cards.
The Nvidia GeForce 9400M which is an Integrated(not the GS , GT, or G just M) is actually aa very capable card more powerful then a 8400M-G and gs which is a dedicated card and infact is identical to the 9400M-G card in specs for the most part which is a dedicated card.

In fact in a short list from most to least powerful these igp are as good if not better then the ones listed below that
Nvidia GeForce G105M
Nvidia GeForce G102M
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
Nvidia GeForce 9400M
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200

---
Nvidia GeForce 9200M-G/GS
Nvidia GeForce 8400M-G/GS
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400
Nvidia GeForce 9300M-G/GS


Still it's not many cards but these are sold to oem still and people buy them in their laptops and get a raw deal. Laptop gpu esp are a fucked up place where the same chip could be tied to GDDR3 memory and be quiet fast but then there is also a Gddr2 version and some people even get seriously boned with a DDR3/DDR2 version that uses bad memory for it.

Is this DIY kit a solid deal? I'm thinking I'll just recycle my video card (Geforce 7950) and wait until sc2 comes out to decide if I need a new video card.

I'm not 100% sure about that Seagate drive, and the Micro ATX mobo but the other stuff looks fairly solid IMO (which doesn't mean much I guess)

Not sure why they're packing a 700W PSU with that though.

it looks fine, but don't be fooled by capacity. Might as well order a boot ssd along with that because the hard drive they have bundled is pretty slow (Slower than 7200rpm anyway)

Oh yeah, I noticed that too. I'm going to be recycling a 7200rpm 250gb hard drive to run OS and games(lol what games? Just starcraft 2 actually) from and then just use the 1.5tb for storage.

If you're just going to be playing SC there is no reason to get a rig that powerful.

We wont know until it's at least near retail release. Beta will be next best thing as engine optimizations should for the most part be mostly done by then.

I'm getting a new laptop. Since I don't have a desktop for various reasons and prefer to just use this one laptop for everything, specs are not the best. Mostly I got a Thinkpad (W500) because most laptop keyboards are much worse, and I like the TrackPoint for non-gaming use.

OS: Windows 7 Pro
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo P8800
Memory: 3 GB DDR3 RAM at 1067MHz, 2 dimm
Graphics: ATI Mobility FireGL V5700, 512 MB VRAM
+ Show Spoiler [other specs, parts, price] +

Screen: 15.4" WSXGA+ TFT (1680 x 1050)
Hard Disk: 320 GB 7200rpm
Wireless: Intel Wifi 5300 AGN
Some DVD drive, ports, typical stuff etc.,

for $1,095.20.

The graphics card is kind of an oddball, so I have no idea how bad it is for games. From what I read it's based on the mobility Radeon HD 3650 but with better performance, especially optimized for OpenGL (probably for CAD work? of which I do minimal amounts, oh well). Anybody know how this thing will perform?

It's optimized for OpenGL performance, meaning a certain few games will run better, as well as CAD. All half life and half life 2 as well as quake engine games will run great on it. Your specs seem fine and SC2 should play at at least medium settings, but don't expect 1680*1050.

A fireGL or Quarto card although by stats one can compare them to cheaper other cards the PBC is slightly different and the driver is completely different. And the Driver part is what will kill you in games. If that firegl card is powerful though it should still be able to run sc2 at some extent, your cpu isn't that bad but the P suggest its a power saver cpu.

9400M G is an dedicated low power gpu goes in line with the P8600 it should be able to run at low atleast if blizz is making a good scalable game.

9400 will definitely be able to run the game.

Not sure what resolution, but it will work.
