Alienware Aurora Laptop question guys?

Hey guys I have came across a real nice older Aurora Laptop for a great price. My question is with the current components could it run new games?

amd athlon 64 dual core
8 gigs of ram
nvidia Geforce Go 6800
1 100 gig hard drive (one it came with) and 1 1 terabit hard drive (put in last year OS is microsoft xp (it is got a lighter footprint = greater speed)

If not, is it possible to upgrade it for newer games? I am thinking about getting it for a fun project to beef up. lol any help would be great!

Thank you for any help.

 

I wouldnt waste your time with a system that old. The Geforce 6 series is ancient now and theres little chance of it running anything new on reasonable quality settings (if at all).

 

The GeForce Go 6800 is a VERY old graphics card, which even low end modern laptops can beat.

I wouldn't go for it unless it is VERY cheap, because with just a 6800 I think it'd struggle to play the more graphically intense modern games, even on the lowest settings.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I am going to go ahead and pass on getting it.

 

i would get it because a 1 teribit hard drive is not in any other laptop. the hdd alone is worth a couple hundred if its actually in there.

 

It's probably one of those super-thick hard drives that fit in very, very few laptops.

If you need that much space you're much better off with an external 1TB hard drive which are much cheaper, and guaranteed to work.

 

yup but the real question would rater be can you upgrade the GPU in that thing

 

u cant upgrade the cpu, the Athlon 64 is actually a single core if this is the m9700 built off the arima chassis. and the 2.4ghz proc is as high as you can go.the only dual core AMD proc used in a AW was the FX series in the clevo built M7700 AFAIK. but all flaming aside this isnt worth buying unless its only a few hundred dollars. and thats all you got.
