You'd be lucky to play Quake 4 on low settings with that machine. Otherwise it's not too bad.

i need a good gaming machine for a low price, any recomendations???? im looking at around £600-700

I live in the states so it's hard for me to find a machine for you. That one wouldn't be bad if you could just get a better GPU in it. A 7600 series would be perfect...

From CPU101:

Dual/Multi Core
A recent craze, Dual and multi core processors are, for all intents and purposes, "two processors inside one convenient package". Each processor will have independent access to cache and stackspace; by having multiple cores the processor as a whole can deal with multiple threads of execution (i.e., multiple applications, multiple instructions etc) without any [significant/measureable] overhead (i.e., Dual Core processors are what marketers hype-up HyperThreading to be)

You'll be paying a fortune for a good gaming laptop - IMO its not worth it at all.
