I am trying to buy a gaming laptop that's good enough to run games that recommend or require 3.2 Ghz processors (Arkham Asylum & Modern Warfare 2) but I am wondering if I actually have to buy a laptop that has a 3.2 Ghz processor. During my research some people's processors that were less than 3.2 overclocked and could run Arkham Asylum. I'm not trying to overdo it and get more than I really have to obviously for pricing reasons. Any help would be great!! Also suggestions on great laptops that would run these games at full speed are more than welcome!
Thanks!

Overclocking a laptop is like playing Russian Roulette with a (Semi-Automatic) Pistol instead of a Revolver...
As for the term "Gaming Laptop" it is an oxymoron...no laptop is a Gaming Machine...and any laptop listed as such, likely will cost you about $1000 more than it needs to.
But, if you're set on a laptop...look for one with discrete graphics cards, and either HD4xxx series cards, or 9800GTX or better.
You will then be looking for a 3.0 gHz or better dual core processor, or quad (overkill, but if you're in it for the status...).
Once you've done that, you'll need a 17" or so screen.
You may find it easier to have someone build you a semi-high-end LAN box and buy a decent LCD screen. It's as portable as a laptop, and almost as convenient to transport if you have the "backpack" rig to do so
Good Luck!
EDIT - Yes all revolvers are pistols, but not all pistols are revolvers ;)...I'll edit that line. :D The problem with a large vocabulary...you can't always pick exactly the right word/term! lol

Gaming Laptop Processor?
Adam
I am about to purchase a laptop for gaming and want to know whether MORE CORES or HIGHER GHz is better for gaming? The laptop im thinking of purchasing has AMD Quad-Core A-Series A8-3500M(1.5GHz) with AMD Radeon HD 6750M Dedicated Graphics Card. Will that run current games?
Answer
Don't get a laptop for gaming. Laptops are notorious for bogging down under a load. For games more speed is better but this is only half of the power needed. You also need a good video card. Only a desktop can provide enough power in the video card to run the games good. They can run on a laptop but very poorly.
