Hello :-)
The video tutorial at the article below will show you how to find your Dell Inspiron 6000s system specs

After opening up and letting Speccy run for about 45 seconds, click “File” > “Publish Snapshot…”
Here is a screen shot to show you what I mean http://k.minus.com/i78MbUj4QaOm9.png

Thanks for posting your specs.
I see the problem now. The Intel Pentium M 730 processor is too underpowered to play Farming Simulator 2011. Also like all “integrated / on-board” graphic cards the Intel 915GM needs above average help from the CPU. The laptop also has half the minimum required RAM.

It would cost the same to buy a used laptop on ebay that already passes the minimum requirements.
I recommend looking for a laptop with a 2.0 GHz or faster “Intel Core 2 Duo” processor. Do not get the regular Intel Dual Core processors, those are slower. The Intel “Core 2 Duo” processors are meant for gaming and do everything else very fast.
I also recommend buying a laptop with a Minimum of 2 GB of RAM.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Please be aware of who you are buying from on ebay. Research the seller by looking at their reviews.
