Mobile Gaming At Desktop Speeds

DigitalBiscuit writes: "Today's leading edge laptop PCs are packing serious power under their thin little hoods, enough that even the hard core gamer may sit up and take note. Here's a full showcase (dismantled to show you the innards) with benchmarks on a Dell unit that employs NVIDIA's new GeForce4 440 Go GPU and a Pentium 4M (mobile) processor at 1.6GHz. Take one of these babies to the local LAN meet and be the envy of your Mountain Dew chugging cohorts." Of course, this will cost a lot more than similarly powerful desktop, but some people don't seem to mind that tradeoff.

Re:LCD Screens Suitable for Gaming?

[martissimo]

good article about just that topic at toms hardware.

Basically the new LCD monitors coming out this summer and towards the end of year are getting very close to whats required for high quality gaming. any monitor with a response time of 20 ms or less will yield at least 50 images per second displayed, and there are quite a few nice ones that you will be able to choose from with thoose kind of times very soon.

just be prepared to whip out close to 2 grand for one :P
