Answer
Your processor is not bad, but you already know (LOL) that you need more, lots more ram! Your harddrive is very small, too.
You will need to find out what the maximum amount of ram your motherboard will support and what speed. go to the Crucial site I provided below and run the diagnostics they have.

The amount of ram, and other factors really depend on the games you want to plays. Each game has it's minimum system specs on the box or on their website. Plan accordingly.
For a new harddrive, you can either get an internal or external one. Go for at least 100-150 Gig or more.
I jsut bought a 250G at Newegg for $60 and installed it myself. Super easy!

Are certified refurbished dell laptops from the dell outlet site okay or safe to buy?
Matthew P
Also do you get the box and computer info and all of that?
Answer
Normally it's okay to buy refurbished from the manufacturer BUT, when it pertains to Dell. The answer is a BIG NO WAY. Dells new out of the box are pieces of Crap; they always wind up going back to Dell for repairs, which by the way, the computer is never the same afterwards. I realize you are enticed by the price, but it's not worth it. Pay the extra and buy a MacBook. There are NO PROs for a Dell computer, they just plain SUK. Here we go: Macs are easy and now you can get a Dual Processor that does Windows also. No other computer can make that statement. A MacBook 2.4, 4 Gigs Ram will do the trick for you. Lightweight and is a Heavyweight in performance. With Apple Stores usually close by it's easy way to get your computer fixed if it's a minor problem. They usually do right on the spot. With Dell in particular you have to send it to them [at your cost] and wait for at least 2 weeks to get it back. Almost no one will work on a Dell so Dell's got you. If you take the time to check Dell's website everyday you will see the same model computer configured slightly different and with a different price. Deceptive to say the least. Hope this helps you make a decision no matter which computer you buy.
Here's why you should get a Mac:: There are NO CONS. The MacBook does both WinBloze and OSX, no other computer can make that statement. You have the best of the best. Apple Stores are popping up all over and you can make an appointment for a time and date, bring your computer there. They will troubleshoot it and fix it if it's a software problem it's FREE. What other computer company has stores and can make that statement? Get the 2.4 GHz with 4Gigs Ram and you got a speed machine like mine. The WinBloze people may not like a Mac computer but I'll bet they all have iPods. Go Mac and Never Go Back.
If you read the questions here you will notice that most problems are about every computer except a Mac.
