    hello,

    I am almost positive that the part # is WP044 but just wanted to see if someone could verify that for me. I do not have onboard graphics, I have a 8600M. I believe the part# for onboard graphics is WP043. I tried typing in my service tag number but on my system list it doesnt say anything about a motherboard or part #.

    Thanks,
    ed

    Ok thanks a lot, I was 99.5% sure but then I went on that parts-people website and it says this
    Dell P/N: WP044
    Compatible P/N: KU926
    you may receive either one of these part number's
    Well KU926 is the integrated graphics motherboard according to this and other links
    http://www.jpcparts.com/KU926.html

    But im gonna stick with the WP044
