The processor sucks. Ram is cheap, get 4gb. There's a chance that lappy would work, but it'd probably have to be on lowest settings.
Not all laptops are the same as your dell, though... but I'll assume your joking. Finding a good-priced laptop with a dedicated graphics card might be tricky, though.
Minimum: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz/ Athlon 64 2800+ (Intel & Athlon 1.8 GHz Dual Core or better supported On the processor part you would be really be in the bottom part. Video Card Minimum: 128MB 3d Hardware Accelerated card required-100% DirectX 9.0c compatible and latest drivers (NVIDIA GeForce 6600+ / ATI Radeon 9800 ---+) You have an ATI Radeon™ XPRESS 200M (HyperZ II Technology, SMARTSHADER pixel and128 MB Framebuffer memory x16 DDR1).. according to google dont think its gonna work. or you'll probably have like 2fps why would you need 4gb? if running xp 2gb is enough.
A app needing 2gig in XP will need 2gig in Vista/7. An app needing 4gig in Vista/7 will need 4gig in XP. The actual operating systems don't have much difference in RAM requirements (when we're talking about amounts as large as 2-4gig), it's just that when RAM is free, Vista/7 will use it. Whereas XP would sooner leave it and pagefile, rather tahn taking up more than the typical flagged amount. Hence why Vista/7 has better memory management.
to run cod4 in xp 2gb is enough. + if you go 4gb in xp you'll need 64bit version of xp which sucks ass
2^32 = 4 294 967 296 != 2 147 483 648 =2^31 4GB is the max addressable. 2GB is the min addressable. Depending on your board/bios/OS people are usually able to directly access 3-4GB RAM and even if it' not directly addressable the hardware can use it. also the drivers for 64bit XP/ 64bit winserver have improved a fair bit. I'd still go with win 7 x64 though
