i recently recieved a dell inspiron 8000 as a gift (no complaints its free) anyway im runnin a p3 at a gig flat with a geforce2go card(personaly id a spent that money for somethin else)i mean if your gonna buy a labtop your gettin it for its abitlity to travel not for the grapics which a labtop CAN NOT provide. If your gonna play games go get a pc you save your self dissapointment. The graphics on my labtop are a step up from what im used:(its sad isnt it) but it dosnt do the system justice in a manner i guess. anyway to what a lot of you want to know if your thinking about a dell for a labtop i recomend it there great but expensive (if it were my money i MIGHT have gone else where) another thing dont try and save money when it comes to ram get the best you can my GIFT came with only 128megs of sdram and for todays resource hungry systems you need more just to run a program stable and me being somewhat of an excesive person i have ordered two 256mb sticks of ram to replace what i have now(128mrgd period) i cant go any higer but it will do just fine
p.s. look for what you need dont get something which does more for you then you need. personally i fell people are spending more moneyh then they need to on pcs and notebooks. they figure they need the best and newest system to date and they dont so pick whats right for you and does the least amount of damage on your checkbook
have fun and try bein a nerd
its fun
and we do (at least i do) get the girls
