i need a cheap replacement for a dell inspiron 9100

neil300n

hello everybody

My dell inspiron 9100 (pentium 4 3.2ghz, 60gb 7200rpm hdd, ati radeon mobility 9700 128mb ram) was stolen recently and my insurance company want to offer me a replacement. At the moment the are offering me a toshiba satellite pro L450-17k and i'm not too sure that this is a good 'like for like' replacement. I did use my dell for occasional gaming, which it could just about handle, so i need a capable replacement. I doubt the insurers will be happy about forking out a lot of money. Do i need a gfx with dedicated memory or do shared memory gfx offer the same capabilities as my ati radeon 9700?

Well the Toshiba Satellite Pro L450-17K is a good replacment if you want really high end gaming then you will have to find something else, but for occasional gaming then ok.
