<p>Hi all, </p><p>I am looking to replace my old Pentium 4 17 " laptop (which has just died) and have been looking at this one.</p><p>Any idea if this will run EQ2 well or REALLY well? - I have tried to avoid Quad Core, and gone instead with higher clock 2 Core Processor - I know that EQ2 does not (yet) really support Multiple Cores.</p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica;"><span style="border-collapse: collapse; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: medium;"><p>Alienware M17x MLK Gaming Laptop</p><p>PROCESSOR - Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 620M (2.66GHz,4MB cache)</p><p>Genuine Windows® 7 Professional, 64bit</p><p>17-inch WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 - Beyond HD (1200p) - Dual CCFL</p><p>MEMORY<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6144MB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [1x2048 + 1x4096]</p><p>HARD DRIVE 500GB (7200 RPM) Free Fall Sensor Raid 1 "Mirror" Dual HDD - (2x500GB)</p><p>GRAPHICS CARD<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1GB ATI® RADEON™ HD 4870 Graphics Card</p><p>OPTICAL8X DVD+/- RW Optical Drive</p><p>I suppose that this i7 processor is faster that an i5 540M at 2.53Ghz or faster even than a i7 820QM at 1.73 Ghz (even though it has 8MB of cache). Purely from an EQ2 point of view.</p><p>All input welcome, I am hoping to make a decision soon <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p></span></span></p>
