    Hey guys,
    Just wondering what the estimated delivery dates are for new orders with the 210m. I have a replacement SXPS 1340 with a 210m ordered by TechSupport, but no estimates...they keep saying 2-3 weeks.
    Thanks.

    When did this come out? I hadn't heard about it until this. I went on the Dell site, but it lists it as an N10M? Is that the same thing?

    I've got a new build with 2.53GHz C2D, 4G RAM, 500GB 7200RPM, WLED screen, and the nVidia N210M. I ordered it on 10/6, and the estimated delivery date is 10/22.

    Be sure to test them with the game benchmark!

    So how did it go down? they suggested giving you the 210m motherboard or you asked for it due to 3 failed replacements? Let us know please. Thank you!
    Also what country are you using ur xps13 in? Just wondering if that might help me get the new motherboard :)

    I had a m1330. They no longer make m1330 or none were available in the outlet when they were giving me the replacement, so they upgraded me to the SXPS 13. I make many purchases from Dell through my individual account since I order for my family(uncles, aunts, etc), so they gave me a good config. Initially gave me a 9400m and when that order had problem processing, they made a new order recently and bumped me up to the 210m and a free 9-cell battery.

    All in all good config, but its taking forever to ship.

    I'm in New York City.

    I just got my FedEx tracking number, and it's on schedule for delivery on 10/14, 8 days earlier than they originally estimated. Yeah! Which benchmarks should I post? I don't have any games, but if there's something free to download I'll be happy to post results here.

    It'll be late since I have a midterm that evening.

    EricDB,
    Hey. Nice to know its shipping early. Mine is still in the build stage. Estimated delivery 10/21. Can you post the specs of the video card. Its still not known if its DDR3 or DDR2 memory? Also can you post on battery life with like a DVD or movie rip?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, I'm really anxious to know what kind of video RAM it is.

    How do I check?

    you should be able to check it with GPU-Z. Similar to CPU-Z if you are familiar with that. Mine just updated to shipping on 10/13, so I might be able to get it soon since they gave me next business day shipping. Will post once I get it.

    Also, be sure to download m17x's beta graphic card driver or the newest graphic card driver and the newest directX. Then do the 3dmark06. Two more days, your lappy will come to you XD

    Here's the gpu-z output. It doesn't say what kind of video ram is there.

    Edit: With the out-of-the-box drivers and in SLI Boost mode, it scores 4,668 on 3DMark06.

    Wonder why it doesn't show the memory type. Should be DDR3 anyway since benchmark scores are so high. Seems like a great card for now. I guess it'll take a while for the reviews and benchmarks to get here since its so new.

    Mine is yet to go into the boxing stage. Estimated delivery keeps changing on the automated order status, so I guess its not accurate.
