I’m currently looking for a laptop that I would be able to play The Sims 3 on. TS3 minimum specification is, for Windows Vista, 2.4Ghz processor yet some apparently great gaming laptops have under 2Ghz processors, why is this? Surely hard-core PC games need a higher spec than The Sims?

On the October 8 edition of Fox News’ The Live Desk, co-host Martha MacCallum repeated Cindy McCain’s attack on Obama, saying: “[W]e don’t usually hear that kind of talk from Cindy McCain, but she was very outspoken. And she said that it sent a chill through her when he fought to turn down funding for the troops in a Senate bill in the past. So, some pretty strong words from Cindy McCain today.” Similarly, on the October 8 broadcast of the CBS Evening News, correspondent Chip Reid reported that “Cindy McCain, John McCain’s wife, jumped into the fray today, sharply accusing Obama of abandoning the troops by voting against funding for the war in Iraq.” And in an October 8 blog post, the Politico’s Jonathan Martin quoted Cindy McCain’s comments after noting that she “took one of her most personal shots yet at Barack Obama today.” However, none of the reports noted that Sen.

I’d like a camcorder for filming interviews with local people and also recording day-to-day life. My budget is £150.

I am not very gadget-mined and find all the jargon really confusing. I know there are many types of camcorder, but which would be best for a beginner like me on a strict budget? Thanks!
