I am typing on a Dell Inspiron 1300 now

I have upgraded to 768mb DDR (from 256mb) and only game I have played is World of Warcraft which is *just* playable at 800 x 600 (around 20 FPS).

Football Manager 2006 works well though

As other posters have said it is a value laptop but great for surfing and office stuff.

cheers for the info on it, have u got a copy of bf2 or css u could run for me

Doesnt it use the GMA900? That doesnt have a hope in hell of running DX9 games properly. Chipset doesnt run at 533FSB either

dam it, not even farcry

probably not going to buy it now but my freind has an inspiron 6000 with GMA 900 graphics and his can play CSS with playable frames but then again i see the 1300 is a budget note book which is not going to be up to much, looks like ill be saving a bit more money to get a better one
