Please help [Buying a laptop for PCSX2]
Hello this is my first time posting on here and I just want some advice. Pleased don't make this more complicated than it needs to be. I am purchasing a Macbook Pro, I know that Macbook Pros are not the best for gaming and Alienware's are better etc.. I'm am getting a Macbbook Pro.
I currently own a Macbook Pro 15 inch, which I bought last year, I run Bootcamp on it which allows me to run windows. However, I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro because they released new ones with better specs. Right now the only PCSX2 games that I can run on my current Macbook is FFX and other rpgs, but even so, they do not run very well and lag a bit. Other more demanding games are unplayable, ie, they lag a lot. The new Macbook Pro which I want to buy is at this site:
http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/sh...AOS-CA-KWG
I want to buy the 15 inch 2.2GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7
4GB ram 1333MHz [with an option to upgrade to 8gb ram]
750GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5
So I would like to know if this will be strong enough to run PCSX2. I am particularly worried about about the memory [ram], which is 4gb (that's how much ram i currently have on current 2010 macbook pro). Will the ram be enough? What about the GPU? My current GPU is a Nvidia 330m [254mb ram] and it cant run pscx2 well. Will the new GPU in the new macbook pro [AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5] make up for the 4gb of ram memory? Or do i need to get the 8 gb of ram instead of 4gb for an extra $200.
Thanks in advance. I know I know, get an Alienware, please stick to my question and advise accordingly.
