Would upgrading the parts on my Laptop help with my gameplay?

[griffbird 6]

So I got dayz and Ive already done alot to try and fix the lag without spending money, Im not good with computers but i think these are the specs for my laptop:

CPU: Intel Pentium P6100

15.6 HD LED LCD

Intel HD Graphics

4 GB DDR3 (If this is the RAM I now have 8 GB)

500 GB HDD

DVD-Super Multi DL drive

Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n

6-cell Li-ion batter

Im wondering if upgrading my parts will help improve my gameplay to where it will run smoothy, if anyone knows what I should upgrade and can tell me that would be helpful, understand I dont know if these are my exact specs, so im probly missing some stuff I do have.

Plus I dont care about the graphic quality of the game, I already have put all that stuff as low as it can go and/or disabled them.

Also Im not looking for a new thousand dollar gaming pc so if thats your solution dont post anything plz!

the only option is really an external mod... its almost impossible to put in a better GPU with a integrated graphics card... its tighter for space in there than a cows ass in fly season..

how much would an external mod cost? Also wats an external mod???

An external mod would be impractical and possibly expensive as well as potentially voiding any warranty you may have on it. I would probably just invest in building a stand alone PC or save up for a laptop with more dedicated graphics hardware. The intel HD graphics just don't cut it.

The laptop you have is seems like it's simply not designed for high level gaming, more of a general purpose/media laptop. The best you could do it chuck in more RAM and migrate to an SSD without any modifications but the performance gained from that is still questionable.

well Im only planning to play the dayz mod not any other PC games if that changes any of your opinions

[Lamethrower 3]

Even with DayZ alone, you would need a pretty big step up with your graphics processor. Your cpu should be fine being a dual core but there is no real way of installing a GPU inside the case of the laptop, hence the external modification suggestion. If you are not super tech savvy or familiar with computer modding I would probably avoid such a solution.

[griffbird 6]

i guess im gonna avoid that solution then -_-

[griffbird 6]

is there any other solutions anyone can think of? other then buying an entire computer?

[Lamethrower 3]

I would suggest (if you plan on sticking to laptops) to invest a little more money into an upgrade if you plan on doing so. Probably something that has 4xxm or 5xxm nvidia graphics hardware to get some decent performance.

[griffbird 6]

ok, how would i tell if those are compatible for my laptop?

[griffbird 6]

well thx for all the help anyways if anyone else posts i appreciate it

[Lamethrower 3]

Sorry I'm at work. What I meant by upgrade was upgrading to a new laptop. I would look for dedicated graphics chips in a new laptop.

[griffbird 6]

oh if we buy anything new like that its going to be a gaming PC not a laptop

[griffbird 6]

thx for the advice anyway

my lags not to where its unplayable so if anybody wants to teamup msg me

plus wtf is the beans thing about???

[Lamethrower 3]

It looks like the best way to go. Keep in mind that a $1000PC will usually get you much more performance than a $1000Laptop but it never hurts to have extra horse power anyway.

plus wtf is the beans thing about???

Basically the same thing as +1 or thumbs up because beans are so valuable and delicious. :P
