    got e1505 with x1300 and Gig of RAM. HL2 runs with no problem at all. haven't tried things like doom3 though. Just clean up the startup to get rid of trash, etc and it might help a bit.

    didnt' read your questions entirely :)

    Does it come with CD? Depends on what you chose when buying it, assuming directly from Dell. Mine didn't - I believe it's on a separate partition on the HD. DVD software - yes, there's some program that let's you watch DVDs, but nothing special (can't tell you which on right now - away from my laptop).
