    I'm currently trying to decide if I should go for the Latitude 630 or 830.
    Does anyone know what the difference is between the nvidia quadro nvs 135M and the 140M?
    Nvidia's site mentions the specs, and it seems they're exactly the same.

    the latitude 630 has the 135M and the 830 has the 140M, I'm trying to find out weather this is a big deal or not.

    The memory on the 135M is only 128MB (256 Turbocached). The 140M is 256MB (512MB Turbocached in XP, but up 1GB in Vista.) I'm not entirely sure how much system memory the 135M is allowed to take, but if you're looking for anything remotely multimedia (especially games), go for the 140M. That is, if you MUST have a Latitude. But if you want to play games, choose an XPS or an Inspiron.

    Gaming is doable on the D830... but apparently not so much on the D630.
