    I saw an ad for CompUSA today for an AS1691WLMi for $999, but there was no mention of what kind of GPU it has. When I looked on line, I saw it listed as either an x600 or x700, depending on the country (but nothing specifying the U.S.) When I asked at CompUSA, the guy said it as "64 meg shared" (which would explain why it wasn't a bullet point in the ad). Does anyone know for certain what the video controller is in the U.S.?

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    p.s. Sorry if this should be in the hardware forum. I wasn't sure...

    Shared means its likely intel integrated.[} :)] If its dedicated its an x600.

    The one at CompUSA has a shared GPU.

    Thanks for the replies. I thought it was too good of a price for an x600/x700. [ :(]
