    I just realized that the video card that came with this is the GeForce 9400M G 256mb memory, whereas it says that it comes with the, and I quote from when I ordered it: 320-0999 1 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M (NB10E-GT1)

    I bought this 2 weeks ago but just now noticed this..is this the same with everyone's or did they mess my order up?

    If you guys don't know how to check then right click, go to personalize then go to display settings and go to advanced and it should say under the GeForce tab.


    PS: Crazy theory, but if this is the onboard video card then how would I switch to the 1gb?
