Dual-core processors are standard in current gaming laptops. We’re even seeing the gradual shift to quad-core processors as more applications and games are designed to use them. High performance gaming laptops have dual-core processors with at least a 2GHz processing speed. The Alienware Area-51 m17x, for example, hosts an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 processor that clocks in at a stunning 2.8GHz. A more modest processing speed of 2.2GHz still handles the workload of most next-gen games.
Video Card
Your video controller provides the muscle for the dynamic lighting, explosions, landscapes and action sequences that make modern games so fun. If you’ve seen a standard desktop’s video card, you’ll know that they are about as large as a paperback book. It’s no simple task shrinking them down to a size suitable for a laptop. Even given size constraints, 512MB and even 1GB video cards are common in gaming laptops. Recently, it has even become practical and even affordable to outfit laptops with dual video cards. Nvidia’s SLI technology harnesses the power of two video cards at the same time. When considering a gaming laptop, be sure to keep next year’s games in mind. Only a handful of games available now fully utilize the power of dual video cards, but up-and-coming games are being designed with SLI technology in mind. Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 get a strong boost from dual video cards. Look for tried and true performers like the GeForce 8800M, 9800M and Radeon HD3870.
