    I'm kinda confused here cause I'm looking for a laptop but can't decide weather I should just go for something cheap ( sempron, 1gb, integrated gfx) and game on my pc or just get a good overall laptop with something like 8600GT.

    I'm in the middleeast and it's so freaking expensive to shop for anything tech related. Anyhow, I can get either of those two systems for $1000:


    Vostro 1500: core2duo 2.00Ghz 2mb cache, 1GB, 120GB, dvd+/-, 8600M GT, BT, WXGA, 6-cell battery

    Or

    Vostro 1500: 1.6, 1GB, 160GB, 8600MGT, BT, WXGA, 6-cell battery

    I did order 2 laptops in the past from the US and had my cuisine ship em to me, so it's still an option to order from dell refurb America again but he's too busy these days with school and crap so I don't want to bother him.

    Which system would suit my needs? I'm kinda gonna go with the first one, but just thought I should see what you guys/gals think!

    Games that I play are: PES 6, NFS pro street, COD4.


    What laptops come with the 8600M GT other than Dell?

    Go for the first one, the only thing better about the second one is that it has a bit more HD space.
