ultmate gaming laptop

ok so i recently got an compaq presario F500 for my graduation gift and i was totally excited. BUT im a gamer by heart and i was wondering if there's anything i can buy and put in my laptop so that it can work like an gaming computer.

Hm...it's a 15.4 inch laptop right? I don't think there's much you can just drop in and your machine will suddenly become a gamer. Your laptop seems to have integrated graphics, and I doubt the designers just left a free MXM slot for users to stick in other graphics cards. Plus 15.4" laptops don't have enough room for the relatively huge graphics cards and their cooling (my 7950 GTX is 3" by 4" or so, plus a huge copper cooling heatsink). I'm sorry mate, at best you can stick in a better cpu and more ram, but I don't think that laptop will ever evolve into a gamer's laptop.

thanks.

i had another question what computer would be the best when it comes to gaming?

 

[theworminator]

What computer? As in desktop or a laptop? I'll assume desktop since you already have a laptop, but if you want the best, you'll want a Core 2 Quad Extreme with 4 gigs (well, two is also possible, but assuming a money is no limit) of high performance, aka overclockable, RAM and at least one 8800 GTX. But I can't exactly say what you're looking for, because the "best" I can say is pretty much a list of the most powerful and expensive components on the market.

Google "gaming laptop" and you will find much information. One of the key ingredients is a good video card. With Vista, the 8600M GT or the 8700M GT. With XP, the 7900GS or the 7950GT (all class 1 mobile video cards).

I've seen good gamers from Dell, Toshiba, Alienware, etc...

Aw, come on Maziar, I thought everyone on the internet agreed not to buy from Alienware anymore

 

[lostandwandering]

The only reason I would get an Alienware is if I got it from them for free. And even then I would probably sell it and buy something better.

yeah u r right, but M9750 is a very nice laptop (very good reviews, but its expensive )
