Ok, seeing as I have not had a DELL before (nor am I ever), I am helping a friend out by getting all the drivers and such.
One thing I realised is she doesn't have a Dialup modem (the reason for this is because this was bought from my college at a cheap price). It would result her in a problem and I got that covered. It should work without problems so long as I take out this LAN card (I assume it is a card but havn't had time to study it).
Here are the main specs I know:
CPU - Pentium 4
1.70 GHz
400MHz
L2 Cache Memory: 256
Video Card - FireGL2 AGP
DAC Speed: 300 MHz
Mem: 64MB
Mem Speed: 120MHz
AGP: 4x
Memory:
1GB RD Ram (I am too tired to just look inside if its 2x 512MB or just 1x GB)
Hard Drive:
20GB - 14.5GB left currently
Ok, so now that you know what is equipped, what I need to know is this:
Can the Video card be overclocked in some way without killing it or the Mobo?
These are the spec requirements for the SIMS2 as I know she'll probably try playing it since she says she has it:

Despite it all, the fact that I don't know anything about the Fire GL series, should it run (I'm kind of looking at the T&L part and wondering if it is T&L enabled)?[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The system requirements for The Sims 2 are as follows:[/FONT]
