    Want
    Dell 9200, 2.0 GHz, 1024 MB Ram, 128 MB Ati Mobility Radeon 9700 Graphics

    I would also highly recommend the 128 MB video card if you plan to play first person shooters.

    i agree, this is a notebook for those who are planning to play old games, i mean seriously, considering you can (or could have) gotten a MR9800 on that same pc, its not worth getting. go for the 9200 for its 128 or a sager/alienware/falcon-nw pc if you want the best out yet (GFX Go6800) or you can wait for the new version of the GFX Go6800 with GDDR3 and higher clock speeds or the MRx800 w/ gddr3 and high clock speeds but only 12 pipelines, unlike 16 for the GFX. wow lol that probably didnt make much sense but its the facts, at least i have read so.
