Hi all, I am about to buy a laptop but i want to get one that can run H2V. I have been looking for an HP and one smaller than 17" the only problem is i can find one that has a decent enough graphics card. If anyone could help me that would be great. The one I am looking at buying:

HP Pavilion dv6500t customizable Notebook PC
RM098AV


* – 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS


Do you think this has a good enough graphics card?

May I ask what compelled you to use a poll for this? I mean, come on. It's pretty much pointless. Also, the question itself is absurd considering how your laptop will clearly be able to run it.

Next time, I recommend you look at the minimum requirements for Halo 2 Vista and compare these specs to those yourself.

umm no the graphics card is not very good is what i have read but others say its decent. I have looked at the requirements but just because the graphics card number is higher does not make it better

Simple questions call for simple answers:
You'll be able to run it pretty well :]

Ehh I was leaning to an HP and the XPS is a little out of my price range but will check it out.

Edit: The XPS are over priced for what you can get on an HP

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

You buy the XPS for gaming as HP has nothing that can match the speed of the 7950 GTX go.

HP makes gaming laptops?

Since when did HP ever care about gaming?

Ever since that they found out that if they stick "Gaming" in the product description they can raise the price by $1000...

That sentence was the equivalent of telling someone to walk into hell.
