Find the Dell "Driver" CD and install the Video Card and Ethernet drivers. It sounds like its not using hardware accelerated graphics (graphic stutter) and it's not recognizing the NIC (ethernet driver).
I've formatted enough Dell machines to know that their "Recovery" CD blows and you usually need to use the rest of the CDs in their package too.
