Hi,
I posted a few weeks ago about purchasing a new computer. After quite a bit of deliberation, i eventually decided on getting a laptop because our "Office" in the house is dark, dingy and a mile away from the front room where i GF watches tv... Anyway. I went with the XPS 17 from Dell as it fitted my needs and looked the part. The spec is as follows
Display : 17.3in HD+ WLED True-Life (1600x900) with 2.0 Mega Pixel Integrated Camera
Memory : 4096MB (2x2048) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
Hard Drive : 320GB Serial ATA (7200RPM)
Optical Drive : 8x DVD+/-RW Optical Drive
Graphics : 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 435M
Processor: Intel i5-480M(2.66GHz) Mobile CPU
Now i realise that laptops are never going to get the most out of a game, even WoW. But it was the better of two evils.
So with the exception of shadows, which i know is very demanding graphics wise, what would be the max settings i could hope to achieve with this set up. Its fairly budget but i was hoping for at least Mid to high?
And one final note, where should i be looking for a reasonably priced 4gb of DDR3 Ram, Dell wanted to charge me an additional £120.00 for it. I could've sworn i'd seen it for much cheaper to buy it separately, i plan on upgrading almost straight away when i get it delivered, is it worth it? Will it even make a difference?
