Hey guys, I know absolutely nothing about PC's/laptops, so I could really use some help. I want to get a laptop that can atleast have two games installed and still have the laptop run at a good speed. The laptop I have now definitely is not for gaming because when I install a few games it slows down my PC. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money...less than 1,000 if at all possible. I just want a laptop that can atleast support TWO games and still run at a good speed. Thanks for your time/help!

a GT540M is really underpowered for recent games.

Seems to handle recent games pretty damn well and would be a huge upgrade from his current laptop.

Sorry, but I am a bit confused. when you say support 2 games, do you mean two games at once? the m11x is a pretty decent gaming laptop and you could find sales on it every so often, just keep checking teh internets. slickdeals often will show you deals, or subscribing to dell email would also inform u of sales
