Laptop help please computer chaps
hutchir9, posted 9 months, 1 week agoMy son has a samsung r 60 plus processor is an Intel core 2 duo T5550 1.83 ghz 667 MHZ fsb 2MB cache and a ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 graphic card.I was wondering if he got a better graphic card would it play world of war craft any faster without lagging or is the speed just down to the processor.If it is the graphic card then can you suggest any graphic cards that would fit and worth putting in .
Many thanks Mark

If he wants to play games get a playstation/Xbox, or a desktop PC.

That doesn't have a good graphics card and to add one you'd have to replace the power supply, it'll probably work out cheaper to buy a machine with a good graphics card to start with.
