Gaming With the WidowPC Sting 517D
A Christmas stocking chock full of games but no new laptop to play them on? If you're into next-generation 3D gaming look no further than Widow PC's Sting 517D. It sports a core 2 duo processor, an nVidia GeForce 7950 GTX graphics card and 512MB of dedicated DDR3 RAM memory.
The Sting517D gaming laptop from WidowPC is a next-generation gamer'snotebook. I don't use clichés like "next-generation"lightly. But the Sting 517D deserves it because it has multiplecomponents that few other notebooks can match on the market rightnow-the most important of which are associated with graphics andgaming speed. What am I talking about? I'll tell you what I'm talking about. The Sting517D is the first laptop ever to feature PCI-Express' x16 busarchitecture.
That means more bus bandwidth to power 3D games,game development, hi-def video-you name the need for intensegraphics, the new bus technology can manhandle it. To tap the full breadth of the PCI-Express technology, thestylishSting 517D laptop comes with a core 2 duo processor, and annVidia GeForce 7950 GTX graphics chipset. The special thing aboutthis setup is that the 512MB of memory dedicated to the GeForceis DDR3 RAM-again, next generation and unlike any of the DDR2 RAMfound in most laptops. That means faster speeds to you, and nolag even in the latest 3D games.
You need another "next generation"? Take the Sting's SATA-150hard drive, which have 50 percent faster transfer rates thanstandard ATA drives. Sting 517D tops all of this off with"top-of-the-class"-another well-worn but well-deservedcliché-components, such as its 17-inch widescreenuber-high-res display, Intel high-def sound, enough ports tostart a shipping company, and a 4-in-1 card reader.
And I may have even saved the last for best. The Sting 517D isfully upgradeable. Everything except the motherboard and thechipset can be easily replaced out, including the processor,memory, battery, hard drive, and optical drive.
What does all this mean if you don't know too much about gaming laptops? I'll tell you if you can tell me whether or not it's afelony in the U.S. to crack open a federal mailbox. Moreinformation and specs available atWidowPC.com
