Yea, I run SH3 with GWX on my laptop and SH4 on my desktop. That way I dont miss SH3 too much. :)

Tigrone seems a good idea im the same ive maxed my sys out with all sorts of goodies but waiting 12 months till mr gates sorts vista out then will go spend some money on a new toy :up: as well any way happy hunting out there mate:gulp:

that laptop is almost mine...granted I need 1g of more ram, same video card and cpu is just 200 Mhz faster, the game runs nice at Med settings, I could try High, but I like playing with Env effects on, I need to turn that off (the corrupt places on the wate bug) lags my laptop down ALOT. I do want to get a desktop to play my game (current one is a Athlon XP 1900+, 768MB ram, used to use Geforce 4 ti-4200 128MB but because of dx9 games, ATI Radeon 9550 256 MB... (it needs a big upgrade)

P4 versus Core2Duo from Intell
 

A friend give me a simple comparison ratio:

Multiply the clock speed of a P4 by 6 and that of a Core2Duo by 12, and that's the approximate indication of their relative performance.

I had our IT guy at the office benchmark my Laptop (1.83 Ghz Core2Duo), and it tested 21.6% faster than my P4 3Ghz. That's very close to the rule of thumb above. 21.6% will definitely improve FPS, I think.

Again, thank you all for your replies.
