I have starting to learn Red Hat Linux Server 6.1. I have come to know that I need 4 GB RAM, more than 3 GHz 64bit Processor.

I also need a good graphics card not the intel integrated ones.

Well if you are buying from India you should go for dell. Its decent .. and please try to get accidental coverage plans ... and avoid going to the service centers... you should check dell.co.in directly for the models available .. i think you could get the new inspiron 15r for about 50. If you extend your budget you might get a XPS15 too .
