Spring RTS Engine

Hi i'm getting a laptop from my dad because we're not going on holidays
in the May vacation, to Tunisia.

I have 2 questions about it, I have found a good laptop but two things
bother me.

1- Is1024mb good memory?
2- Is 128mb graphics card good?

Stop watching and please post

do you mean a video card with 128mb memory and 1064 mb ram?

a 1064 mb graphics card seems unlikely

I suspect you mixed up your stats there
Anyway, post every spec you can think of when asking that kind of question. This is way too little information.

I changed it. But is this good further i have radion x1350 card, 150GB.

Watch that card... ATI Laptop GPUs have done trippy things to me... It might work, but don't expect it to be equivalent to a desktop for performance on advanced effects...

For a laptop, 1 gig of ram is fine.

I wouldnt concentrate on looking at the memory for a graphics card. Unless ofcourse you had a huge laptop moniter. Concentrate more on what graphics chip/card your getting and how reliable it is.

Dont buy stuff based on how much RAM there is. The 512mb 1600XT is obivously nothing compared to a 256 7900GS.

Thanks, but is this good? I mean for games like TA spring.

a) USE ball shaped object attached to neck
b) USE google WITH stupid question
Bernard: "10Q, sir!"

NVIDIA graphics are best

1024mb ram = great
128mb video ram = good

get an 80+ Gb hard drive if its a laptop
if its a desktop get 160+ Gb

For TAspring? Hell yeah. My dads dell laptop ran TA perfectly.

a 486 16MB SD RAM can run OTA perfectly.

i have a laptop with a 32mb ati card that spring great
and i have comp with an intel card that runs spring even better

but nvidia runs it best

Basically, max out everything you can with your budget. For gaming, I'd max out

Video Card
RAM
Processor
Hard Drive Space

in that order. keep a good balance, but IMHO that should more or less be the priority of your shit.

Normally i'd recommend a gorgeous monitor as well, but this seems to be a laptop, so its not really an issue

Although if you can get a fancy widescreen one, go for it.

Yeah.. Like... 17 inches <3

...on the smallest maps with little units.

128MB graphics card means nothing, even Intel chips can come with that much. If it doesn't say what chip it uses in the ad you can be damn sure it's Intel or even worse.

The laptop i'm on just now runs spring at 20fps when you join a game. It quickly drops to around 8 by the 10-15 minute mark, and thats with all settings on min (except for unit view distance or something because it gives units some sort of retarded tags on my intel when i zoom out more than a little at min view distance, then you cant see what the units are)

And its a 128mb chip...integrated. Basically, NEVER get an integrated GPU.

Don't Intels integrated always use system memory? Funny enough I get more FPS on my super old system with a GF2, even in late game. Does Intel support any DX8/9 features by the way?

Yep.
