|
Answer» I am not a techie and have searched high and wide for a desktop or Laptop with 4GB Memory and a Nvidia Geforce graphics card for under £400. If anyone can help It would be most appreciated. ThanksYeah, we're not really a search machine....Quote from: Raptor on January 10, 2012, 04:17:56 PM Yeah, we're not really a search machine....Come on, MAN, at least give some constructive criticism... 400 GBP = 618.56 USD. You can build a decent quad-core desktop with a mid-end graphics card for 600 USD.

Does the graphics HAVE to be nVidia? In my own experience AMD has had a better price/performance ratio. Of course if you are set on CODING applications that require the nVidia CUDA/OptiX framework then you'll need an nVidia graphics card...Quote from: Ruby31 on January 10, 2012, 01:52:39 PM I am not a techie and have searched high and wide for a desktop or Laptop with 4GB Memory and a Nvidia Geforce graphics card for under £400. I think you might get more helpful guidance if, instead of STATING your requirements in TERMS of the hardware you want, you state it in terms of what you intend to do with the machine.I think your first step would be to go to your local electronics store and see what they have available in your price range. For what you have to spend you can afford something decent. Talk to an associate and tell them what you're looking to get out of your computer, and they can make some suggestons. You can also get a feel for what you're most comfortable using, and what looks good to you. Both a desktop and a laptop will handle all of your email, documents, VIDEOS, social networking, music, etc. The main thing to consider is what you want to do with gaming. A laptop is more portable, but cannot distribute heat/power as a desktop would. Therefore a good gaming laptop is going to cost a lot more than a good gaming desktop. If you're really set on gaming, get the desktop. If you'd rather have something portable, get the laptop. |
