Choice 2 would be the best... however all wouldnt be very good at gaming... all using intels integrated graphics solutions...

yeah i thought so too.. but i cant seem to upgrade it to 4 gb ram... will it make much difference if it is 3gb ram and not 4 ????

Wont make much difference... probably cant upgrade because system is only using 32bit OS not a 64bit OS

 

[adarsha_tamrakar]

umm it says..Genuine Windows® 7 Home Basic 64bit (English) ... the inspiron 15 has 4gb ram wid all the other specifications the same... but its more expensive.. and i dont want a 15.6 inch screen... 14 inch is good for me!!

In that case go for choice 1 then... but upgrade graphics card if possible
