Well, there is some good news for you; things have really changed in the laptop world. No doubt you are probably aware there have been some major developments in laptop construction and technology in the last year by Dell & Gateway gaming notebooks.
Technology that puts the gaming laptop on par or near par with its main rival is the desktop PC. Recent changes in technology have really brought gaming laptops into the spotlight with a whole list of new technologies like PCI Express, Sonoma Chipset, SLI, Hyper Threading, DDR3 SDRAM, Dual Graphics, and now Dual Core gaming laptops.
Gaming notebooks are just now entering the specs and performance arena which was exclusively reserved for the bulky yet much more powerful desktop PC. Here is a brief rundown of these new technologies that will give you the fastest gaming laptop:
Graphics cards: these are the real heart of any gaming machine. They are getting faster and more powerful. There are lots of dual graphics cards and better transmission of data with new pipelines and buses.
PCI express: is a new standard for expansion cards that comes in different versions. Presently, we have the x16 and x1 lanes, they offer increased bandwidth. For example, x1 lane offers 500MB/sec instead of just 133MB/sec for PCI.
NVIDIA SLI: SLI stands for scalable link interface, technology that lets you use a couple of GeForce 6800 graphics cards together with PCI Express X16. Basically, SLI will speed up graphics on a single monitor by deploying two graphics cards. It also lets you combine 4 GPUs in one system for the fastest graphics yet.
An alternative system would be ATIs Crossfire which is a SLI like configuration using master and slave cards to combine two Radon GPUs for improved and faster graphics.
Hyper threading: This feature gives processors better performance especially when combined with dual core processors, capable of handling four software threads which will put a smile on any gamers face.
Dual core: Its just as the name says, you put two CPUs into a laptop for more power and faster computing. Rockdirects Xtreme 64 was one of the worlds first dual core notebooks to hit the market. Also be on the lookout for Intel dual core notebook chip.
