I want to buy new notebook - faster than my actual. I want to create big terrains - like planets but I can't predict what will the best. I'm thinking about Clevo M860TU (GTX 260M, C2 Q9000 or QX9300) or Dell XPS M1730 (8800M GTX SLI, C2 T8300). Clevo has better CPU (is it so important when we create procedural terrain?) and single GPU. Dell - if I use SLI in OpenGL, it may be better but I read only a few presentatnions from NV website about it. Of course bigger screen will be more useful (and NBD warranty) but I don't know how importand will be CPU. Yea - it's little stupid - better to begin on slower machine and end on better - having faster things which are really most important. But maybe somebody who create programs like it (procedural plants, VBOs, postprocessing, LOD, realtime loading data from HDD, generating verts etc.) does know about optimal hardware for it.
