I've an old desktop and a newer laptop. Which might perform best when playing? I mean: best FPS in most cases. I like to stay at 24 FPS or better if I can. I find at 16 FPS the slow down is noticeable and above 32 FPS, I really can't tell any difference at higher rates. My older PC played SH3 fine with only an occaisional stutter at max graphics. I know I will have to back off graphics in SH4. What might be the 2 or 3 most resource hungry options to drop? I've accepted that I will have give up Environmental Effects. I also am not concerned with higher than native resolutions or AA.

Newer laptop:
1.83 Ghz Intel Centrino Core Duo
2 Gb RAM
Nvidia GO 7600, 256 Mb
17" flat panel at 1280x800 native resolution

Older desktop:
3 Ghz Pentium 4
2 Gb RAM
Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT, 128 Mb
19" flat panel at 1024x768 native resolution

Which would you use for SH4?
