Time for an upgrade.
Post specs.
I have been thinking about selling my laptop for a while now, so if you’re interested:
Dell Inspiron 1720 w/Vista - Jet Black Color
Intel Core 2 Duo T7250, 2.0GHz, 800Mhz, 2M L2 Cache
High Resolution, glossy widescreen 17.0 inch display (1920 x 1200)
4gb Ram
256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 8600
120G 5400RPM SATA hard drive 5400RPM
8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive
External Sound Blaster Audigy
I spent almost $1400 on it a year ago. I did a lot of the upgrade options which is why - like the high res screen /w better video card, extra ram and external sound card. It pretty much plays any game you throw at it. I’d probably like to get something in the ballpark of $650.
Let me know
