Dell Inspiron 5150?

[arabarabian]

I am looking to get a Dell Inspiron 5150 for school/gaming/folding at home. I was wondering what people think about it? Is it worth it to get HT on the P4? Is it worth it to get the 64mb video card? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Any benchmarks would be great.

Thank You,
Daniel

is it the mobility 9000 your talking about? if so, 64mb may be worth it. If you don't know, the 32mb version of the mobility 9000 only has a 64-bit memory width. but the 64mb version has a 128-bit which is much faster.

I'm not sure if the HT will be worth it, if it doesn't cost awhole lot more, or if u have the money to get it, then i say go for it.

Also P4 notebooks probably may get hot, an alternative is to get a centrino. its fairly fast, but is not faster 2.6ghz+ i think. Centrinos are good because they don't generate alot of heat compared to p4's, built in wireless, and longer batt life.
