Re: French People Are From France Mondaily
RL: Didn't realize the Nvidia 600 series was out, time to read some benchmarks! Also never got around to reading benchmarks on the affordable 7000 series. I bought a 6950 for 260 (still waiting on rebate from Januray 12, stupid Sapphire) so I am interested to see the results. About waiting for a lower price, the 6950 series was basically the same price all the way through the entire life. There was only a couple of times where there were some deals and they weren't for very much.
Checked a quick review, and the 7850 seemed a tad quicker and they are the same price and even cheaper. Not a bad deal.
And for the laptop questions, I have had good success with the cheap Dell laptops. Had 3 different 15.6" ones over the last 6 years or so and they have held up fine. Replaced a battery and keyboard on the oldest one, but the two new ones (bought 2-2.5 years ago) are just fine with no slowdown whatsoever. My main criteria for laptops is 1. Processor = good intel (I3 ivy bridge would be what I would shoot for now) and 2. battery life and 3. ram to be at least 3 gigs.
D2: Random character. Hate the beginning of the game, takes so long before you can have any fun in nm and hell.
