Some General Questions

[PSRT]

Hey again,

I've posted here in the past and have been very happy with the responses I have received. I am planning on ordering an NP5796 in the near future and have some minor questions I wish to have answered:

1. From a pure gaming perspective, which would be the best screen resolution for me? I don't really expect to play many games at native resolution regardless, unless it is possible to maintain decent framerates, and I have read that higher resolutions scale down easier.

2. I was wondering if anyone running a 9800M GT (or 8800M GTX for that matter, since I understand performance is comparable) could let me know how well Company of Heroes runs on their machine.

3. I would like to receive my laptop around the end of November. Any suggestions on when I should place my order to meet that date?

Once again, thanks in advance for the assistance.

this is what i ordered, i played mass effect on it and it runs great at high resolution, I can see every single little pixel on the faces of aliens and the shadows are magnificent. I would highly recommend this notebook, its a little loud due to the three fans, but its not even noticeable when your killing aliens, I received my laptop in five days of ordering it, so five days before you need it, order it and put Justin W in the comments for faster shipping.

ok it's already been two days since I ordered my NP8660, going to see if I can get it in another three days, though I highly doubt it ...

[nurse]

your computer is not available yet, according the the website

[B_W]

true what's why I am highly doubtful it will be ready for shipment in three days LOL

Though I heard Sager will start shipping NP8660 on Friday.

The 9800M GT performs roughly equivalent to the desktop 9600GT card so you can estimate expected performance by searching for benchmarks on that card.
