Core2duos are better than anything with pentium in the name. What is your budget? Dells are almost never as good as you can do in terms of price/preformance/quality. Btw that system uses ancient tech dont buy it.

Hi there,

The dell's configuration was pretty good enough. I would suggest that instead of Vista use XP3 or windows 7 if available. Vista takes huge amount of ram say 2 GB, so your PC might not perform as it is required to.

Better a Core 2 Duo if the price difference is negligible. Dell usually offers 5 year warranty on its notebooks in my country. So i think some models are worth the price.
