You can find them on newegg for $1200-1800. The new versions come with the newest nVidia cards in them They also come with Blue Ray players (at least mine did).

Mine has the nVidia 360 in it.

If I had 1800 Id buy one right now. and this laptop plays sh5 perfectly smooth with a ton of mods in it?? What kind of FPS do you get? (Specifically in high traffic areas like a convoy or in harbour)

And just out of curiousity is there any way to turn the dang TDC back t SHIII style?? Or is it hardcoded?

here is a word of caution for you

i made the mistake of thinking 4GB ram was plenty but its not enough for win7 64bit (well its JUST enough)

for win7 64bit to run well it needs ALL 4GB of ram so as you know or should know the more extra you have the better things work so it is recommended you have at least 6GB of system ram for win7 64bit

if you use 32bit you can do ok with just 4GB but i really see no reason NOT to get 64bit OS now days

also you can get great deals on 460 and 470 cards right now and ram is cheap so you picked a good time to get a great deal on all your stuff.

i wouldnt go top of the line on everything but instead get the #2 or #3 item to save a ton of money (thats why i didnt suggest any 500 series cards) and you would never notice any difference between them

last get a high quality (but not needed to be highest priced) power supply of 750-1000 watts (i recommend you buy corsair brand)

Really? Well that's disappointing to hear. After Vista being such a RAM hog, I figured on Windows 7 being more efficient.

It's a misunderstanding that an efficient system leaves free RAM. After all RAM is the most efficient place to store and handle data, so part of Win7 being as efficient as it is, is it's way of using all available resources in the best possible way.

I've installed many machines with the MS recommended 4 GB and it's perfectly fine. I doubt there are any games that wouldn't run well on a Win7 with "only" 4GBs

But agreed, 6 GB is really, really good. And cheap nowadays...

well how much could it cost me to build a rig with 6gb ram and the kind of power to laugh in the face of Sh5??

Your talkin about building my own rig right?? Im lookin for laptops because I need portability. But I will keep in mind what you said about ram! Now the 460 and 470 cards are Nvidia?? or ATI??

And what would I be lookin at to build a rig or laptop (if thats even possible) that could easily and smoothly run Sh5 (and many other games) with mods on top of it??
