    I bought my m1530 in August 08, and was wondering if there was a way to check what type of memory the graphics card (8600m gt) is using. I just want to know whether I have the ddr3 or ddr2 versions. I tried rivatuner, but I heard it isn't reliable for notebooks since it uses the desktop card info.

    Thanks
