I am typing on a Dell Inspiron 1300 now :)

I have upgraded to 768mb DDR (from 256mb) and only game I have played is World of Warcraft which is *just* playable at 800 x 600 (around 20 FPS).

Football Manager 2006 works well though :D

As other posters have said it is a value laptop but great for surfing and office stuff.

Doesnt it use the GMA900? That doesnt have a hope in hell of running DX9 games properly. Chipset doesnt run at 533FSB either :rolleyes:

probably not going to buy it now but my freind has an inspiron 6000 with GMA 900 graphics and his can play CSS with playable frames but then again i see the 1300 is a budget note book which is not going to be up to much, looks like ill be saving a bit more money to get a better one
