Well it's crunch time. I need to make some decisions about my Dell E1505. Tomorrow morning the money for my new lappy goes into my checking and I'll be ordering a system. Basically everything is how I want it *except* I am having second thoughts on spending the money on a 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo vs. the 1.6ghz. Also, I am worrying about the SXGA screen vs. the XGA screen.
With the x1400 being a huge limiting factor, am I throwing money away on a 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo expecting to get better "clicking around windows" and World of Warcraft performance? And also, is the x1400 enough power to drive WoW @ 1680x1050 SXGA? I am afraid I will end up having to run the game at a non-native res. ..... would that look considerably worse than the lower grade XGA screen if I end up having to?
Basically anyone who has a SXGA + x1400 I need some opinions on this!! So hard to pull the trigger without having solid #'s for the main application being used on this thing ARG.
