    Hi, I'm waiting for my Vostro 1500..

    Just wondering,

    Will I be able to play Colin McRae DiRT at native resolution (1440*900) with low/medium settings?

    What fps would I be looking at? <30 ?

    without antialias i think you still can't play at native resolution. I think you will get only 20 to 25fps.

    This is a very demanding game. You won't be able to play at native with medium settings.

    My g1s overclocked can only play it at low settings or else it'll overheat.... LOL, it started to smell like smoke at some point on medium settings...
