thanks for recommending these but I am really not sure what all that stuff means! Is it good? What do I need to get to play games so they are fast? And can someone tell me how to get online, I dont have any idea where to even start.. do I need a phone line?
OK here's the run down on it all:
Intel® Celeron® M Processor 380 (1.60 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 400 MHz FSB)
This is the main bit that does all the job's, speed is important so 1.6GHz is ok
Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition, SP2
This is the operating system with service pack 2 so all should be up to date
You need the operating system to make the processor work/run
512MB 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2x256)
This is use to help the processor run programs 2x256 = 512MB of RAM, that ok.
40GB (5.400rpm) Hard Drive
The Hard Drive will store all the software, applications and games
5,400rpm is the speed the hard drive spins at, more rpm the quicker it reads data.
14.1inch WXGA (1280x800) LCD Panel
The size of the screen, the bigger in inch's the better (bit like in real life)
8X DVD+/-RW with Software (No Media)
So you can read DVD's x8 speed is what data on the disc is read at, also reads CD's. The DVD+/- RW = you can copy to a blank dvd-r (which you use once) or a DVD-RW disc that you can use many times. The +/- means it reads both DVD formats ( bit like with video, you got vhs & betamax)
Dell™ Wireless 1370 802.11b/g Mini PCI Card
You can use it out & about at cafes etc as it hasa wireless card.
Hope this help's, not to good at explaining things in layman terms, getting to be to much of a techie geek
