How's this system?

<< < (3/3)

2d games aren't really a good metric of "anything I throw at it".  I think the consensus is that a 1+ GHz system is perfectly good for playing any 2d game.  If you want to play 3d stuff, you need to get the latest and greatest multi-core beast and then overclock it way over 4 GHz.  I've heard people say their quad core blah blah blah can play everything perfectly, but then it turns out to be at ~80% frame rate.  IMO, that's not 100% perfect.

Either way, if you are happy with the games that you can play on your laptop, you should be good with that system assuming it's faster than what you are running now.

Just find the most demanding game you like and use that as your benchmark...if its an older game and you don't like any of the subsequent games you will be fine...otherwise you will always be after faster CPUs as they come out and consider your current pc as "temporary" ;)
