Entry level laptops?
Hey, all --
My desktop is just about dead. I was going to just replace the video card, but the wifey suggested buying a new laptop instead. I don't have much to spend -- can entry-level laptops play BF2?
I don't need the settings on high, I just need to be able to play.
Something along these lines:

Some sites rate the 4500M integrated graphics pretty well, at least for older games. And hey, it's only $400!

Re: Entry level laptops?
the 8200 on the compaq will have a very tough time i think. I used an 8400 GS for a time and it couldn't run any game.
