Question:
### How good is this for Gaming and Entertainment
Dear friends,
Getting this DELL laptop on Jan 2nd 2007.
Skeptical with mixed feelings whether it is a good deal or not.
DELL Inspiron 6400
Core 2 Duo Processor T7200 (2.0Ghz, 667MHz FSB 4MB L2 cache)
2GB RAM
120GB HDD
15.4 Ultrasharp WSXGA (1680x1050) Display with TrueLife
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 256MB with TV and S-Video
Primary 9 cell 80W/HR LI-ION
Software Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced HD Audio (Full version)
and they are giving one Free Creative MuVo V100 1GB MP3 Player too.
All this I am getting for 925 pounds from UK.( Though I stay in Hungary ).
I want this laptop strictly for entertainment, watching movies, music and net.
I do play lot of games.Used to play AOE2, NFS, QUAKE, Commandos - 2/3/4 etc etc before, but it was little gap nowadays in playing anything.Want to revive, with this laptop again.I still didnt get into higher machine crunchings games like F.E.A.R but sure I will lay my hands on.
So what do you suggest regarding this config, if it is ohkay.
Did I made a good choice.This is the best I can squeeze to afford.
Cant go beyond unless, I sell something from myself. :eek:
What say guys...?
Waiting for your replies.
Dump me IN.
- Is this ATI stuff good compared to NVIDIA goforce
- Reg this AUDIGY s/w am too :confused:
Anything else please do lemme know.

The X1400 isnt a great card and for the money you have spent, you could have got a more powerful laptop, especially for gaming.
ps. the muvo is a decent mp3 player
