Hi all,

Thought this was more relevant here than the laptop forum. A friend of mine is buying a new laptop, but there are two options. One comes with a single 8700M GT graphics card (512mb), and the other comes with 2 8600GTs in SLI (256mb each). (In addition, the 2 x 8600GT option comes with a C2D T7500 processor whereas the 8700 is a T7300). Both options are exactly the same price and there are no other differences.
Anyone any opinion on which is the better option?

Cheers,

MD
 
Depends if he wants to use batteries. SLI's good if he wants to use it plugged in all the time but if he wants to use it on the move it might not be the best idea.
