For over $2000 i think i would wnat more than a Radeon 9700 mobile for gfx. they make PCI-E cards like 6600-6800 models and what not for laptops now im pretty sure.

Personally i'd cut back on the processor (maybe jsut get a slightly cheaper one) and see if i could get a better gfx card. i think even a 3000+ would be nice for gaming. but if you can afford more with a better gfx card no reason not to get a more powerful one.

well, graphics wise it certainly isn't. and the Dell uses DDR2 533MHz, which is better i think. it has a larger HDD too.

i would try to get the dell specs, jsut not in a dell machine.
