    Hey,
    I was wondering how well (if at all) this configuration of the Dell E1505 will run these three games:
    PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5600 (2MB Cache/1.83GHz/667MHz FSB) edit
    OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 edit
    UPGRADE TO WINDOWS VISTA Express Upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium from XP Media Center Edition edit
    LCD PANEL 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife™ edit
    MEMORY 1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 Dimm edit
    HARD DRIVE 80GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive edit
    OPTICAL DRIVE 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive edit
    VIDEO CARD 256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory™ edit
    SOUND OPTIONS Integrated Audio

    Thanks a lot for help!

    wow can run on many computers,it can run on intel gma950s because many of my friends play wow on that.Battlefield 2142 will run,get yourself an extra gig though but you will play on med settings.

    Here is a list:

    Oblivion: 1280*800, low settings, no AA, no AF, (maybe) Bloom. Oblivion is very demanding. I have trouble running it at those resolutions with my X700.
    WoW: 1280*800 with highest settings possible. WoW is not demanding at all.
    BF 2142: 1280*800, low settings with 2x AA should be playable at around 30 fps.

    Charlie :)

    My 6400 can do Oblivion at that res medium, though only if you turn the water reflections off. WoW runs absolutely perfectly. And there is a thread around here somewhere regarding BF and the X1400.

    ive got the same gpu, and it runs BF2142 on 1024 x 768 with all settings at low at about 40-45 fps ( its really not bad to have everything at low you know :) )

    use omega drives, they really help :)

    Wow, I am very surprised that it would even be able to run Oblivion for $800. How about future games?
