You're kidding? of course it will!
Take the most powerful mobile GPU in the market: the GeForce 2 Go!!
For 50$ extra you get 32 MB DDR RAM in stead of 16

it could be done, or couldn't be done

i heard some problems about DVDROM on Notebooks having problems with PSX cds. You know, they cut stuff to make it smaller than the standard DVDROM for any desktop system.

But I hope the Dell's DVDROm doesnt have that kinda problemo

Im running ePSXe find on a IBM Thinkpad PIII with a DVDROM - I havn't had any problems so far reading any PSX CD's (apart from one REALLY scratched CD which I just ISO'ed)

I own a Toshiba TECRA 8000. 400Mhz and NeoMagic 256AV for VGA.
I never got it to work at descent fps and only using soft GPU plugins.

I hope my Boss will change it soon....
