Hi, i'm new here and hope someone could help me with a few queeries i have.
I am thinking of getting a Vortex 111 but need advice on a few options.
Thinking of,
i7 3820QM CPU
8GB Kingston Memory
GTX680 Graphics
500GB seagate HD 7200
240GB SSD
1, I only use my laptop to browse and play one game Railworks, would i be better with an i7 3520M 2.90GHz dual core or i7 3820QM 2.70GHz quad core, RW says i need 2.8GHz
minmum to play the game, yet i can play it on my sony with 2.4GHz, i have all settings maxed out except with shadows off, shadows on is a no no. I want a laptop that will play the sim as it should be played.
2, Can i put Windows on the 500GB HD and only my game on the SSD.
3, Or would i be better with 2 500GB HDs, i do'nt understand RAID is it a yes or a no.
4, What does a mSATA cache drive do, or what is it for.
I think thats it for now, sorry if i've not made myself very clear i'm not very clever when it comes to computor specs, to me the dearer it is the better it is if you know what i mean.
Hope you can help.
Thanks for reading.
John
