I use a 2-year-old Dell 8500 with a ghetto GeForce 4200go, and it runs ffxi in 16:10 widescreen at 1680x1050 like magic. Add a ps2 -> USB convertor and a Dual Shock 2, and you're kickin it in style. Wouldn't play any other way, and it's a dirt-cheap setup.
I've used it exclusively since NA launch, as my desktop with a radion 9700pro doesn't compare. favorably at all. I need a new monitor >_<

Glad this thread was made. lol

I've been thinking of getting a new laptop sometime early next year and I was wanting one that would be good enough to run FFXI.

I have it for PS2, but I would also like to take it with me if I decide to move around the house with wireless or something.

Are there any laptops with a Centrino processor that would be good enough to run it?

I'd also like to know any really good, Affordable, labtops that would work with FFXI.

any centrino laptop should be fine, just make sure it has a good video card (radeon or geforce 6xxx).

I found one on Toshiba's website you can customize.

You think these specs would be good enough?:

Intel Pentium M processor 760 (2.00Ghz, 2MB L2, 533 MHz) - Centrino
Windows XP Professional (SP2)
1024MB PC2700 DDR333 SDRAM
15" Diagonal UXGA display (1600x1200)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 w/dedicated 128MB DDR SDRAM
80GB HDD

I wanted a 100GB HDD, but 80GB was the largest one they had.

Costs about $1800 with rebate. I'll have the cash next year sometime.
