Inspiron E1505 Help

Well i was aiming to get an Inspiron E1705, or a Precision M90, but unfortunately we can only afford a Inspiron E1505 or lower (dont recommend me any other method to obtain an Inspiron E1705 for cheap...i cant get one AT ALL).

I have a few questions tho:

1. Does the E1505 have a subwoofer? Never really looked into it, cuz i didnt think I'd ever get this notebook. If not...then how is the sound?

2. I was expecting to get a 7900 GS...but since Im only getting the E1505 now, i'll be getting the x1400. Will that game run CS:S ok? I'm not looking for all out max settings, but playable with no video card lag would be nice.

3. How is the WXGA screen on the E1505? I dont know if im getting the WSXGA+ or the WXGA, but I'm currently using a XGA on a 14". And to me...everything is too big. And is major light leakage common on these screens.

I'll most definitely have more questions later, but I cant think of any right now.

I have the E1505 (AKA 6400)

1) No Subwoofer

2) The x1400 is pretty decent. My brother installed WOW and works very smoothly on low settings. I have not tried any high end gaming. I get 1950ish score with 3dmark05 if that helps. But you can overclock the videocard quite a bit to hit 2300.
(I have the T7200 with 1G of Ram (533) and x1400)

3)
Check this site for all E1505 info

One thing thou this is a WIDESCREEN, it will take a bit of time to get usto.
Your options for screens are
15.4" WXGA (1280X800) display standard
15.4" WXGA (1280x800) display with TrueLifeTM for brighter, more vivid colors


I would highly recommend you go for the T7xxx series CPU they have more cache
15.4" UltraSharpTM WSXGA+ (1680x1050) display with TrueLifeTM .

The higher the resolution the smaller things are going to be.
I personaly have the 1680x1050. You dont have to run the games at that high of a resolution, you can go down to 800x600 if you want
