Forgot to tell us the processor...

And better have some heavy duty battery's because 15" screens suck up a lot of juice. Nice video card though. Way better then my ATI Rage 8MB...

Did you buy that to play games out of curiosity?

Whoops.

The Processor is a PM 1.6Ghz.

No, didn't buy it for games

I will play a few games on it though. Ut2k3 will probably suck on it.

How are Dell Refurb systems in general? Never bought one before.

You'll be quite happy

by the way it runs UT2k3 fine just turn down a few settings.

a 7200 rpm drive makes a big difference

UT2K3 ran fine on my VPR Matrix with a Radeon 7500 32 MB, runs great on my X1000 w/ a 9200 64 MB. I'm sure the 4200 64 MB will be no different.

That's an Uber system for that price. A new Latitude D500 is about that price (properly configured).

That's a really sweet system for the price.
