    Hi I'm thinking of buying a Dell Inspiron 6000 with 1gb ram, 1.7ghz cpu and a Radeon Mobility X300 128mb graphics card

    Will this run Doom3, battlefield 2, age of empires 3 and other game any good? maybe possibly high detail settings?

    also is this gfx card integrated? if not is it easy to upgrade?

    If you want to play games, check out the Compaq V4000t with the 128MB X700. Starts at $900 on www.HPShopping.com.

    As posted, you'll be able to play those games, but not at decent settings.
