CPTMuller: Thanks for the Newegg links, but unfortunately I am in Canada and they wont ship there. Plus they are a bit pricey for me, being that they are in USD.
As for the processor, I am under the impression that the T5200 is better than the T2350, even though it clocked slightly lower? (1.6ghz vs. 1.86ghz?)
I looked up the x1400 and 7300 (there was no GS) on GPU review, and the ATI easily beat it out. I also compared it to some other cards. I found it is it better than my old desktop X300 (which makes me happy, cause that card can run Oblivion), and is slightly worse than a desktop X1300.
Here is another build with the slightly lesser processor. I think my might go with this one instead.

Terrific price for that laptop. But like I always say, its what you want to do with it that is key. If you want to play games on that laptop, then you might run into trouble depending on the games you play but other than that its a great laptop for the price. However, I wouldnt keep skimping on the processor 
The x1400 isn't a bad vid card.

Holy crap, thanks for telling me. I didn't notice that it is just a Core DUO. Alright, I'll be going with the top picture then, except with the screen in the second picture.
This isn't going to be my primary gaming machine, I got my desktop for that. I just want to be able to play games at reasonable FPS, doesn't have to be maxed or anything.

Ok, there might be slight change of plans. For some reason Dell doesn't have the option for the x1400 anymore. When I try to bring up my saved laptop it says it's not available anymore . This may be due to the free "upgrade" to the 7300GS. So in case I can't get the x1400 within the next week or so, how much worse is the 7300?
(7300 GS Turbo cache vs 1400 Hyper memory if that matters)
