About the only game I play online out here in the country, is RealFlight. I don't have the bandwidth or the latency to play anything on my xbox or ps3 sadly.
I have full cable modem, plus if the cable ever goes down I can link up my iphone 4 and use it as a hotspot for the PS#.. tried it before worked great...
Well I broke down and got Stronghold 3 today. this game will sap your pc of any power real quick. ratings are recommended: 1.8 quad core, 4 gigs Memory, 512 video memory and 5 gigs hdd space. I ran this for about 5 hours today and had to over clock and run the super fan on this lappy. It got really warm but ran perfect till the end. I shut down to give it a break.
The large map started killing the performance once I was close to filling it up. I would lag about 6 seconds every 6 to 10 seconds. I do have all the setting jacked all the way up. I have yet to figure out how to work in the army building process.
