deadngone Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Lmao. Should i return it? What is a good brand to buy? Im looking for a price range of under 800$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Rofl is that the only reason? Dells are notoriously cheaply made. I have an Inspiron 1525 and I can play HD, but it lags. I usually stick with standard graphics. I heard you could reduce lag by using task manager and going to processes and setting the browser and Java priority to high. However, it is not advisable to do that without the assistance of someone that knows what they're doing. No, I haven't tried the task manager thing myself.

shawn3090 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It looks like you had an Intel chipset for the graphics. I hear they aren't good for gaming. [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy.

The Dark Lord Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Right now im looking at some HP laptops. Are they good? Cuase i got a Hp desktop and its pretty good so far. I'm not really sure about HP. My dad has an old HP laptop from 2003 and back then we thought it was good. If you're wanting a laptop, I would go ahead and save a little bit more on it, instead of buying a "cheap" one. I would probably stay away from a Dell, though. They seem to have poor service and sell poorly-manufactured products. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

deadngone Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah okay. I guess ill keep it. Since this is my bros laptop and they don't mind playing in standard. Well, there is another option, HD ( small) it seems to look better and not lag as much. So, thanks all. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainkidd Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Do the default HD settings make your computer lag? Or are you putting everything to the max? I suggest putting anti-aliasing on 2x or none that is if you are using 4x because that can cause most of the lag for many computers. ~ Captainkidd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadngone Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well, the anti-aliasing setting right now says "incompatiable". What does that mean? I don't see a way to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotch_Blade Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The task manager thing really works... I play on HD on my laptop, but it lags, because when Priority is low, it skips frames. ~Knotch My Gamercard | Click for Blog | Mining Guide | Illumination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8r34ch3z0r Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You cant say it laggs cause its a dell.. I got a dell and it works fine -.- You just gotta tweak a bit, that's all, but you gotta tweak almost every pc before it works at its prime.. Maybe the problem is that you havent tweaked it yet? Btw, if you are using vista, make sure the save energy mode is off. Dell is ftw tbh... though, alienware > dell :-# Click here to go to my blog!

Dayking321 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It looks like you had an Intel chipset for the graphics. I hear they aren't good for gaming. That will be why. Intel GMA chipsets aren't that good at all for gaming, and hog your RAM too. It's worth getting dedicated graphics if you can afford it (on a new computer.) You cant say it laggs cause its a dell..

I would imagine that Dell puts a bit more effort into their pricey computers. Currently going for 76 fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np_tyler Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 To anyone out there buying a computer... don't get anything with integrated Intel graphics. Choose one with a dedicated card, or at least integrated nVidia. My laptop, even with 4gb of ram and a Core 2 Duo, has trouble with RuneScape HD (not to mention real games) because it only has integrated graphics. The computer manufacturer has little to do with the performance. The hardware is basically the same. - Np Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscular Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well, the anti-aliasing setting right now says "incompatiable". What does that mean? I don't see a way to change it. It means that your integrated Intel graphics card is unable to perform anti-aliasing. As far as I know, that is the case with all of these Intel GMA cards. The anti-aliasing basically smooths out the graphics and takes off the hard edges. Unfortunately, you will probably find it impossible to get a dedicated card for that machine.

deadngone Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hmm. So, my graphic card sucks thats why it lags? If this comp is really good for anything then I really should return it and throw in a couple hundered and get something better. So, far HP brands hasn't been a problem with me. BTw this is my first DELL comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO ordering a Dell Laptop from their website is much much better than ordering in store because you can customize it, and sometimes get a good deal :thumbsup: For $100 more you can get an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 256mb with that laptop on their website + a $100 giftcard.

deadngone Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Haha. I can see that your "K" key is busted :lol: . Right now my laptop is using wireless internet and it dissconnect sometimes, about 3-4 times since yesterday and just once now. Is that normal for wireless comps? My router brand is NETGEAR.
