    Yeah its the same one the C90 uses, the DDR3 one the G1S uses is only 256mb not 512.. also they dont want to kill off the only purpose of the G1S wich is to focus on the best gaming scores.

    The G1S uses GDDR3 NO DDR3.

    GDDR3 is IN NO WAY related to DDR3, in fact, GDDR3 is DDR2 high clock.

    DDR3 sucks right now

    And 128MB of GDDR3 performs better than 512MB of DDR2

    And 512MB of DDR2 800 performs better than 512MB DDR3 800 due to high latency

    Um dude take a chill pill, we use the terms interchangably for simplicity's sake because we all know what it means.

    If you want to apply for the spelling police position, please inform one of the administrators.

    @ViciousXUSMC
    i think u r totaly wrong coz VX2S price more than 3000$
    and G1S cost 1800 $
    do u think thta will kill G1S ?? IMO that's impossible

    BTW : why everybody think that if F8 and V2 become 8600 GT GDDD3 will kill G1S ?? from 4 month ago the A8Js didnt kill the sells rate of G1p which use the SAME GPU of G1p

    sorry, didn't mean to sound hard =/

    But since they are not the same thing you can't really use the term. Dell does false publicity with DDR3-GDDR3 thingy so they get lot of sales in the Inspirons so it puts people in error
