Help with new laptop. - SwordStaker - 2010-11-19

So I'm getting a new laptop and I just wanted a quick little info input about one I picked out:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell+-+Inspiron+Laptop+/+AMD+Athlon%26%23153;+II+Processor+/+15.6%22+Display+/+3GB+Memory+/+320GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/1179872.p?id=1218231017163&skuId=1179872

Do you think the computer is good? And by good I mean for running games like maple, maybe 1 or 2 others here and there. Also is it 64-bit or 32-bit. Can't seem to find it anywhere Monocle

That's your graphics card. It's not powerful at all, but it seems able to play Maple.[/COLOR]

You won't be able to play SC2 or any latest games well, or at all, but I wouldn't say it sucks. I don't even have one, so in that sense, your laptop is better than my nonexsistant one.[/COLOR]

Standard. I don't see anything powerful about it. With that kinda specs, it's kinda average.

I actually don't play stuff like that. XD I just stick to maple PS3 and Wii. If I ever play any computer games outside of that it's usually like WC3, Zoo Tycoon 2, and maybe Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 but outside of that nothing really.

Think I should get it or no?

Also does anyone know if it's 32-bit or 64-bit since I'll pretty much just use it for maple I wanna be on the safe side since I hear 64 bit has issues.

I would assume it's 64-bit since it advertises the RAM is expandable to 6GB.

32-Bit computers maybe hard to find. :S

Most, if not all, systems built brand new these days come with the 64-bit version of operating systems.

Last time I went to best buy when I got this computer I have now they had pretty much an equal selection of the two even though windows 7 was just coming out. I mean like had an equal selection of Vista 32 and 64 bits.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner. Wait until then to pick up a laptop on Amazon or something.
