The new Intel CoreDuo's are baddass. Deff. a whole new processor compared to the ginormo-clocked P4's etc.
My laptop in a 1.86 Pentium M, and I was supprised at how fast it was compared to my Athlon 3000+. Clock for clock the the new mobile pentium stuff is on par/exceding the Athlon stuff. IMHO of course.

Also, Id rock the Nvidia card over any shared memory card.

Get an x1600 minium, and the reason your dell is ----, is the mortheboard was made in my basement. Get an Ibuypower knockoff if your cheap and at least want 20 minutes of gaming goodness.

You can also go to the business part on the Dell site, and make up a name for your fake small business. They run specials all the time, I got my "small business" laptop for $200 less than the same computer on the consumer side.
