Do I Need A Good Graphics Card If I Play Only A Few Games?
November 8th, 2009Do I need a good graphics card for my laptop if I only play games like rollercoaster tycoon and sim city 4? I purchased a hp pavilion dv5-1235dx from Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=K4IZGOWHMFWGNKC4D3FVAHQ?skuId=9167652&type=product&id=1218041150023 or I can get a laptop with the same specs but it has a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT. The other difference is the battery life on the one from best buy is great because its a 12 cell. Here is the ebay computer I am looking at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280321383792 Which one is better to get?
