    Hey guys,

    I received my E1505 a few weeks ago. I distinctly remember ordering the ATI Radeon X1400 256MB video card. However, when I look in the BIOS, it says that my video card is an X1400 with only 128MB. Did Dell input this information wrong or did they ship me the wrong video card? Other than this, I have no complaints. The screen is beautiful and has no dead pixels or light leakage.

    it says 256mb on the dell web site because it takes memory from your ram. So if you look at the settings of just the card it will say 128mb.

    Basically the card by itself has 128mb and takes an additional 128 for a total of 256.
