Wow, damn good deal man. The P3's were plenty speedy in their time and are still great for general usage. What's the batt life on that puppy? Not to mention a 15" UXGA is sweeeeeeettt. :thumbsup: (Except for it being a Dell 😛)

[jediphx]

I would think it should play most games decent with the 440 go 64 meg

 

[RichieZ]

its a pretty good deal but its a pretty big beast of a laptop if i remember correctly, my roomate frosh yr had one

decent deal....

 

[Tarrant64]

nice deal. you should be able to play a lot of games on it. i don't know about any of the 'new' games(doom 3, HL2, etc...maybe not even WoW0), but most games i would think that aren't memory/graphics demanding. good buy if you ask me, i too would have bought that sucker if I had the extra cash. I could use a good cheap notebook.

 

[jediphx]

Thanks guys, Ill let you know how I like it when it arrives next week.

How do you think Morrowind would play on this laptop? Decent?

 

[jvarszegi]

Morrowind is sluggish/choppy on my Inspiron 8200 with an MR 9000 64MB, unless I turn quality/res down quite a bit (and even then there are sometimes pauses). That laptop has a P4-M 2.0GHz and a gig of RAM, so my forecast is that you'll be able to play on yours, but at fairly low frame rates on extremely low res.

not bad at all
