    I have an Inspiron 6400 that is brand new, never had a program run on it.
    Specs:
    1.6 ghz
    4 gig Ram
    80 gb hard drive
    15.4" screen
    224 mb graphic card
    cd burner, dvd player
    windows vista home premium edition

    I just got it in a trade, and thats all the guy gave me in specs. Im not sure it has truelife or not. He said its a pentium dual core..

    All I am using it for is internet, music, videos, and if I play games it would only be CS:S and WoW.

    My question is, what should I upgrade on it?

    Should be fine as is, both those programs aren't that taxing. Also, if it does have 4GB of ram he already has done alot to it.
