Also, I believe that was Wagon's way of telling you no. You need something else. That Dell Inspiron 5558 lacks in both ram and CPU and wouldn't be sufficient for most packs. Especially the large kitchen sinks packs like DW20 or Infinity.
EDIT: Oh and the intel graphics (in most Dells) are not good for gaming in general.

a) No, it's 2.5 years old.
2) So what? Laptops are as popular as ever.
γ) If you're saying people shouldn't post on an old thread, why are you posting on an old thread?

No more than they did...although I did make that post in the middle of the night...not sure why I did lol.
I'm running the heavy self made mod pack and 8 gigs of ram did not work.
(16 does good for now on my laptop)

For the larger packs these days (ex. InfinityEvolved), 8GB is on the edge/border of not being enough or being barely enough. 16GB is still plenty, though. In summary:
4GB : not enough for most packs
8GB : might be OK, depending upon pack
16GB : should be plenty
CPU vs. GPU for Minecraft, *always* spend on the CPU and go cheap on the GPU. Don't sacrifice the CPU to get a fancy GPU. MC is a CPU-intensive game. Most of the 'rendering' work is done in the CPU in Java, before it hits the GPU and is truly rendered.
Server-side is of course 100% CPU and 0% GPU.

@PhilHibbs those specs are only slightly behind what I am running on my laptop, my processor is just slightly faster than yours. If you cannot get MC to run on your rig I would bet money you have a java problem, not a hardware problem. The most common thing I have seen with people is they are not running the correct version (64x or 32x) or their machine.
I run Infinity on max settings (160 base mods I think) and can run Kortex Komplete (220 base mods I think) on max settings just fine.

Just putting this out there, I managed to get this running on an alienware alpha with an i3 and 4gb of RAM at a pretty solid 40-50 fps. I'm sure I could get 60 if I tweaked the settings a bit. Windows 8 64bit. It cost 450$ if anyone's looking for a cheap way to run this!
