Will this computer play full speed (or somewhat close?)
Hello All! So i'm buying a new laptop almost specifically for this emulator and gaming and such. It's a Toshiba with...

- Intel Core i5 processor (with Turbo Boost whatever that is...)
- 2.66ghz
- card is an Intel HD Graphics with 64MB-1696MB shared memory
- 4gb of Ram

What do you think? Oh and just in case that was not enough info, here is the link to the full list of specs. (Click product details tab.)

Thanks!

An Intel GPU is not really gonna be enough for most games.

Actually, it has nothing to do with the amount of available V-RAM. It's the speed of the V-RAM that'll slow you down, since it's allocated. Look into a GPU with at least 512mb of dedicated memory, which shouldn't be hard since most modern GPUs have a full 1GB of V-RAM.

Also, make sure you get one with at least a 128 bit memory bus width. That's usually a sure sign of a good enough GPU. Smile
