hi i'm about to purchase a dell inspiron 6400 and i'm not planning on using it for hardcore gaming but i need to know if it will play games like city of villians and hellgate: london smoothly. I've upgraded it to 2gb ram and true life display but thats about it. Please let me know if you have any idea of its gaming capabilty!
Check this site out to get an insight to its specs

That link doesn't work, but we need to know the specs on the laptop, especially the video device.
 
Processor - Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2080(1.73GHz/533MHz/1MB Cache)
Operating system - Genuine Windows Vista
I upgraded the memory to 2gb ram so i dont think that should be a problem
Harddrive - 160GB* 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Graphic Card - Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Optical Device - 8X max DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability

Its the graphics card i'm worried about!
 
With that intel integrated gpu your not going to be doing much gaming at all unless the games from like 2001ish. That gpu is going to struggle on relatively low games like WoW. Don't expect to run Hellgate:London really at all.
 
Why don't you just get an inspiron with a better video card? My Dell 6400 has a Radeon X1400 which is much much better than the intel gma.
 
I have a dell inspiron 6400 that has the same specs but i have the Radeon X1400 w/256ram. if there's an option for that, its a good gfx card. i can play BF2 on full specs (or close to) w/ 30-40 fps. The X1400 isn't high end, but it gets me through the day.
