    I purchased a Latitude D830 over the phone today as a replacement for the one I got last week. I asked the about getting the 8600 gt card. The salesperson asked around and told me I could upgrade, so I did. I am confused though because they gave me the integrated intel card and a separate upgrade car to go into the pc slot. This doesn't sound right. This is from the order:
    Quantity Item Number Description
    1 A1199484 NVIDIA 8600 512MB

    Does this sound right? An 8600M GT PC card???

    Sounds like you got a notebook and a separate Nvidia 8600M GT card that I don't think would go into the D830, if at all, without modifications. Appears the dell rep misunderstood what you're looking for. Though the D830 does use an Nvidia GPU: 256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 140M™
