    Here is another link to test your hardware for games. It only works with IE; however.

    It didn't recognize the configuration for the D620 (probably because of the Intel GMA 950) but it did recognize the Inspiron 6000. It may be useful for people wondering if their computer meets the minimum requirements for playing a particular game.

    With integrated graphics, I find, you are limited to much older games (> 2years old) or children's games - not a surprise. My daughter wanted Madagascar and the i6000 meets that requirement so maybe I'll buy it today.
