    Near bottom, on the right
    PC World Review

    Although its not much of an upgrade from the regular 7800 go (~10-15%), it is made with a 90nm process (compared to 110), so it will use less energy. And obviously less heat comes with the lowered energy useage.

    One thing that interests me about that PC world article is when he says "The E1705 will turn heads with its cream-colored trim and bright blue LEDs." By cream does he mean white lol? When I think of cream I think of tan... which IMO would look really bad on the E1705. Also do you think by bright blue LEDs hes talking about the media buttons? It would be great if the E1705 got the colored Speakers and vents like the XPS :eek:

    I'm about to purchase an e1705. Anybody find any info on when Dell might offer this video card to be placed in an e1705?? I'd rather hold off and wait until it's an optional upgrade. :)
