For $597 dollars, how do think this system is? I do not want to spend any more than this. How well will it run? Is this a good configuration? I want a fast, smooth running system that can also run 3d games smoothly at low quality. Thanks. P.S. An answer tonight would be GREAT.

I have a Inspiron 1520 set up pretty much like the one you’ve posted. They may have fixed it by now, but to get games to play on it I had to take Vista off and load Windows XP (about a year and a half ago). I couldn’t even get it to run off the battery with Vista. I’ve got Windows 7 running on it now and no problems at all.
