Just ordered a new laptop. How'll it run PSU?

I just ordered this laptop minutes ago for 600 (including shipping and tax). How'll it run PSU?

Dell Vostro 1500 (refurbished)

Intel Core 2 Duo 1400
Comes w/ Vista
120 gb HDD
2gb RAM
128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

The only case where I can't tell how it would affect gameplay is the VISTA part of it. Otherwise, I think it should be ok, but not great. It SHOULD run great, but there's no telling given how unoptimized the code is.

In short: Yes. But probably not at full setting. Might be able to get 10-15 FPS out of it at full.

C2Duo 1400: duo is the only thing saving this processor, it should pull of medium settings nicely.
Vista: Axe it and install XP Pro. You'll see a +5 to your frames per second.
120gb: Doesn't really apply; you have enough space to install, no worries.
2gb RAM: Good, makes up a bit for other shortcomings.
8400m GS: Decent card, little underpowered, but it should, again, handle medium settings.

Hope that answers your question.

Awesome, thanks. But... i should get XP Pro? ;_; But Vista looks so sexy...

EDIT:

Also, another question. How'll it look compared to running it on ps2 (which i play it on at the moment), both w/ Vista and w/ XP?

...alrighty, i'm bumping this thread in this graveyard. See my above post for my question.

PSU should run fine on Vista, but it's true that Vista takes much more out of the computer than XP. (Compare hellgate requirements, XP - 1gb Ram, Vista - 2gb of Ram) So if you want to give PSU more power, install XP!

PS2 question: I haven't seen the PS2 version with my own eyes, but a friend of mine said the graphics sucked. I've played it on PC before and I can't say I was disappointed with the looks. Of course if you compare it with 360 which I am on now, the 360 wins.

Cool, thanks.
