Dell Inspiron 6000 and games

I know nothing about those games. The computer you ordered will be able to run just about any game out there right now. As of right now, you can't go wrong with a 16x PCI express video card. It'll run anything out there (as far as I know).

Are you sure about that? The ATI card is the same as in the 9300. I know the bigger screen and subwoofer will be missing, but that's about it. I see no other difference.

For that level of gaming, the 6000 is the wrong system. For casual low-graphics games it's fine.

Cancel the order and re-order, this time a 9300 or XPS system with the nVidia 6800 video card. You will NOT be happy with either video setup in the 6000.

The X300 card is ATI's low end video and is not a real gaming mobile card.  You will not be happy, but yes, games are somewhat playable by setting the game graphic's or resolutions lower.  Again, that x300 is not that good, period.  Even though its offered with the 9300 system does not mean its a gaming card, but to lower the cost until the owner wakes up and finds out they have to purchase another card.

I would recommend cancelling the order and getting either a 9300 or Latitude D810.

Thanbks for the replies........but I'm a bit confused......

A posting I read before read that a guy can play HL2 without any problems and occassional 1/2 seconf chopiness that he does not even notice.

Sure, the settings are reduced 1020X800 I think.......

The other thing was the hip pocket.....I cant afford upgrading again.....

Any more views?

Im currently playing Rome: Total War and Warcraft III on my i6000.
No lag so far and Graphics is great.

O'K........just incase you are all wondering.....

I have had the machine for 4 days now and my God, who said it was not a gaming machine.....??

On my machine, and check my details on the first post, all the games run a treat......so much so that it easily compares with my 3.06Ghz P4 and 128meg Ti4800 Nvidea Gforce graphics card.

So far, I can play Total War - Medieval with eaze and no reduced settings, Empire Earth also perfect, Football Manager 2005 perfect........just to name a few.....

No frame choppyness at all...

Bloody glad I got the machine in fact and now with my new Netgeat Rangemax Wireless Router WPN824, I also get around 65 K/Sec on a range of 100 feet inside my house.....what a dream.......

To all who replied, thanks........to all who said that this is not a games machine, I strongly believe you are wrong....

Bottom line.......its a bloody great machine...

cheers
