This laptop is perfect for your needs,it will play red faction no problem,and is more than capable of doing everything else.it does have a built in (Most likely) Dialup modem.The PCMCIA Ports are for Adding extra features to the laptop sort to speak.If you want extra USB Ports,or want WiFi,You can buy a PCMCIA Card to add that feature to your laptop.
 
Sounds like a dv6000 series. I have the dv6205us and could not be more pleased with it. I gave $600.00usd for it. It has the same setup except the cam ands only had 512 of ram. I took care of the ram real quick though.
I'm not sure about the pcmcia port though. Are you sure that's what it is? Mine has the the Express54 slot instead of a pcmcia slot.
 
yea as setishock said, its prolly a dv6000 i as well have one, and love it, although what 128mb graphics card will you be getting? if its 6150 its not a gaming card... im not sure how intensive red faction is, but 6150 bearly play's css with the lowest settings possible, other than that i think your good to go..
 
it well at decent fps though. i have this extremely old dell with a geforce 2/100 and i can play on low at 40-50 fps

desktop and laptop graphics are two totally different things, i play on 640x480 on my 6150go with my hp, it is bearly playable, 40-50fps is playable, 20-25 is bearly playable, 6150 is integrated, your dell is not, i know what im talking about
