I wanna play...
I just got a brand new Dell XPS gaming laptop.
Now I know what you're thinking... "Dell? WTF!?" but it was a gift from my parents for my upcoming graduation so when you're trying to help try not to comment on that whole deal.
Now, I'm looking to be able to play Age of Conan and Darkfall when that releases and I just wanted your opinions on whether my laptop will be able to handle these games of fairly high settings.
The specs are:
2 Gig RAM
ATI RADEON MOBILITY 9800 with 512 dedicated memory
Intel Dual 3.4 GHz Processors
The size of the hard drive matters very little at the moment.

You will be able to play the games but not on high settings. The Dell XPS simply expects too much from it's mobile gpu with a very high resolution display taking up most of it's power which results in choppy performance on newer 3D titles. The 9800 is however one of the better mobile gpu's out there but with a clock speed of only 350mhz it still lags a long way behind even mid range desktop cards.
I think it'll do fine on AoC and DF, but probably not the highest settings.
For a bit more improved speed maybe upgrade to 4gb ram.
No it won't. That particular laptop is 4 years old so you won't be able to play modern games at high settings.
The ATI Radeon Mobility 9800 can play WoW on max settings, but nothing modern. Also the Intel Dual Core of that time ran hot and inneffecient.
what dell comes with a dual 3.4 ghz pro. looking not finding?
Hence how I said, "not the highest settings", retard.
Older one, maybe a Xeon or Pentium D.
