I don't know, but I've got the 4550 w/the 2.4G and I lag like crazy on BF: 1942.  I went to the EA message boards and found out for the first time that Dell blows for games.  I wish I knew that before I bought it, but you knew ahead of time so you can blame no one but yourself (lol).

Hey,

 I have a DELL 4500 2.4GHZ with a TI4200 card and i play the following games set at max options with no lag or any problems at all.

UT

UT2003

BF1942

Electronic Arts blows for games. The netcode for BF1942 is rubbish.

Sounds like a great system!  You should have no problem playing games.  My system is a year old and I can still play any game out there.  Have fun.

BF:1942 is a badly written game, everyone is complaining about the lag, no matter what system you have.

Recommendation for gaming:
Get a decent processor speed, does not have to be top of the line.
Get as much memory as you can afford, the more the better. Minimum of 512Mb is good.
Get the best video card you can afford, the more video memory the better.
Stop all background applications and programs in Windows.
Tweak Windows as much as possible for performance, not looks.
