    Hey guys,

    I am a long time reader but now it is finally time to ask a question! I am about to order my 1330 but have read about the NVIDIA video card problems-- it is included in the system I am going to order but was going to call DELL to downgrade to integrated.

    I plan on having an external monitor on my desk and use very little graphic oriented programs. Is it worth taking the risk with the NVIDIA or should I just go ahead and downgrade..

    PROS and CONS Please.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks and pleasure to meet you all,
    Adam

    Well Most of things your X3100 (Integrated) can do but if you need Full HDMI and HD then go for NV GF 8400GS
