    Yeah... I got a Dell. Arg. Sorry Drewdog, but Emory gives me a discount for buying from Dell.

    Anyway... I was wondering if I could get some opinions on what I got.

    Pentium 4, 1.8GHz.
    512DDR SDRAM
    GeForce4 440 GoTM with 64Mb DDR memory
    30Gig Hard Drive

    Is this okay? What about the video card? Can I play Morrowind pretty solid on this? Thanks fellas.

    That is a pretty impressive machine, I am also curious what you paid for it. You should be able to play Morrowmind no problem.

    Nice specs on your new laptop...(even if it IS a Dell [​IMG])

    That thing must weigh a TON! You might want to alternate hands when you lug it around, so you stay symmetrical..

    Very impressive desktop replacement, though.

    BTW, RocketFan...I think Dell gives students discounts on PCs/laptops...you might want to check out their site.

    Sony Vaios are sweet. I really don't need a laptop anymore or that'd be the one I'd get. Either that or a Toshiba.
