so I have a notebook I got on the cheap its an Acer 5551, it has 4GB DDR3 and a P320 but a radeon 4250 I originally bought this for schoolwork but a friend of mine showed me thie Diy Vidock he had running with the GTX460 and the power adapter was pretty small for it, he was running this with his sony viao and I was pretty impressed and have been looking for a new notebook for a while now for gaming
so I just thought why not upgrade my notebook and do that.
after asking acer about this notebook they said the max it could get is an AMD Phenom II X4 X920 Black when the next bios update comes out and 8GB DDR3 1333 and I could upgrade to this for about 150 and still get pretty good battery life and the notebook itself I like.
Diy Vidock + Upgrade all together would cost about 330
A new notebook for gaming would be about 700 at least
which solution would you choose
