Resolution question!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I am planning to get either the
Gateway® P-172X FX Edition or the


Gateway® P-172S FX Edition


I am leaning toward the 172X because of the CPU which is 2.4GHz.
But the native resolution is 1920x1200 and I am not only playing first person shooters but also mmo's. Since most mmo's don't handle that high of a resolution I fear of having short fat characters in an mmo..... so that is why I am also going for the cheaper 172S. So will l I get short fat characters if I get the P-172X?

Also I was wondering if its possible in the future when I do get my laptop that I could upgrade and put in a 9 series Intel Processor?

Oh and my budget is only around $2,000 so thats why i am not getting the XL FX if pplz asks.

Playing a game in lower resolution shouldn't change the aspect of the game at all. Playing at native resolution would be the most crisp but the 1920x1200 to me is what this laptop deserves. The 9 series procs will drop into our laptops without a problem.
