    What exactly does this mean? If you go to configure an XPS on line it warns you that the 128MB video card does not support the T8300. I relied on the rep to guide me through the configuration and there was no mention of that fact. So now I have a T8300 with a 128MB video card. What is my experience going to be as a result of that?

    Dell is just slow in updating. It should work fine.

    only at Dell, I know it cause I had a HP with the combo, and was working perfectly fine but I did not like the LCD resoultion.

    so if you want to get T8300 with NV8400gS 128 gddr3 , try a HP.

    What do you mean slow to udate during the configuration process it pops up and warns you that you should select the 256 as the 128 will not support the processor.

    It's an error. There's nothing wrong with using an 8400m GS with a T8300.

    I already have the 1330 this is the third configuration error i have due to poor consult from the rep. i did not configure the system online so I did not see the warning.

    the other errors were: the rep told me the only difference in the display options was the web-cam. He failed to mention that one was LED and the other ccfl, i was also not told that 32 bit vista would not use the 4Mb of ram.
