How well will this Dell Studio XPS 16 run most games?

Hi, after many days of looking for a suitable laptop to fit my needs - I've found this.

How well will it run most games? Like Bioshock, Fallout 3/ any new games (doesn't have to be high quality). - I know its not the most amazing laptop, yet its what I can afford.

Here's the specs:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7450 (2.13Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz)

Black Leather back cover : 15.6" (inch) Truelife 1080p Full HD WLED Edge to Edge Display

1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 4670 graphics card

4096MB 1067MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [2x2048]

320GB Free Fall Sensor (7200RPM) Hard Drive

Please don't recommend a desktop, or say I should get one instead - I need it for my own reasons, so i just want to know how well this one will run games.

Also, does it matter too much that my processer is only 2.13 GHz, - its the cheapest I can find and I can't really afford any higher - so does it make much of a difference when playing games?

Thanks

It should run Bioshock on high at anything 1280x1024 and lower and Fallout 3 on rather high settings that card is good.

What other games could it run? And how about Crysis - what detail could it run that on?

- PS: I don't have the laptop yet, that's why im not sure.

This Gateway is cheaper and overall better, this is my recommendation. Dell maybe has warranty on Gateway because I'm not sure what Gateway's is like.

Crysis probably on medium. If you wanna run it on high you'd need to get at least a laptop with a 9800/GTS 260 or higher.

Thats it? how much is that? coming from dell sounds like 2 grand.Human-after-all

4670 is about as 8800GT/GTS and I ran BioShock on 1680x1050 at all high no problems...
