    PCSPECIALIST Gaming Headsets

    PCSPECIALIST help needed on laptop specs

    Check this go-to perofrmance chart for the various GPUs PC Specialist provide in their systems. I have excluded the 580M GTX as its perofrmance is more or less equal to the 6990M at significantly greater cost, and anything below the 540M because i personally do not feel that they provide an...

    PCSPECIALIST Want to change my mind

    Hi Andy, Given your budget increase to approx. £1400, you can purchase a Vortex II 17.3" with the fastest Gmobile GPU available: I would highly recommend this build, which includes a Blu-Ray drive and an AMD 6990M, which will provide up to triple the performance of the Geforce 555M GT. I...
