Ok, sooo I go to college in about a year, and I love playing computer games: LOTRO, WoW, Midieval 2, and BFME I need a comp that will play all of those games especially LOTRO. But I think I know which one I want I built an XPS on Dell for 1500 that seems very nice here are the specs:
My Components
Tuxedo Black
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T8300 (2.4GHz/800Mhz FSB, 3MB Cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1
Glossy, widescreen 15.4 inch LCD (1280x800) & 2.0 MP Camera
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz (2 Dimms)
Size: 250GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
Slot Load DVD+/-RW (DVD/CD read/write)
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT
Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition
Finger Print Reader XPS M1530
Is this ok, is everything compatible etc...?
Also to convince my dad to let me get it early I need to know if there will be any big upgrades coming out over the next year or so that will dwarf somethin on this comp because that is his fear that it will be outdated by the time I go to college like will ram be upped to 5gm max or will 512mb graphics cards be available on laptops etc.... please help me with whatever you know.
Thank you
