I'm getting a new Dell Inspiron 15, will it run well?

I'm gonna order a Dell Inspiron 15 this Monday, Are these specs ok?
Ok it has 4gb of ram ddr2, it has an intel pentium dual core processor, Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD Graphics Card. And also I'm choosing vista home premium 64bit will it run fine?

it will run just fine.
But my suggestion is to install Win 7, it will run much, much better.

everything looks good except the processor. Instead of dual core, go for core2duo for better performance and speed. It will cost you a little more but you wont regret it. Think about the long term....

Ok the thing is, my budget... Between 500$ and 598$ and with the students discounts it went from 698$ to 594$, if i add core2duo the price will go up like crazy...

I understand about the cost but you are already paying $500-600. So it wont make much difference if you add more 50-80$. At the end, you will be satisfied with the pc and there'll be no need for an upgrade in future.

That is also true...
Dual Core will be just fine. But in my country that configuration (custom build) is cheaper for about 100$...

vista x64
 
 

You should get the free Windows 7 upgrade offer so like they said above install Windows 7 on it and it will run much better than with Vista.

Dude You're Getting a Dell

I've been told that battery life is much better on the Core2Duo verses the Pentium. If you're a student that might make a difference to you.

Y

It will run fine in win 7. Not so sure in vista. I have the inspiron 1405 and dinesh makes a good point. If you can afford the core2duo, buy it. It will mean you can run 64bit and that is the future.

Have fun ask questions
