    Well.. by all I've read it seems the Intel 950 shared-card sucks.. it won't be even capable to run Windows Vista with the Aero Glass interface.. so.. will the i6400 have the option for a dedicated card soon? and how much costs the minium dedicated card Dell always offers? or how much do you think it will cost the cheaper..

    Rumor is that Dell may be putting a X1400 into it soon but l don't know when or how much it would be (but be sure it'd obviously cost more).

    X1400 is too much for my needs.. I'm not a gamer.. just play every now and then to kill some time.. so x1400 is too much, but 950 intel sucks.. what about something at the middle?

    Everything about the dedicated card right now is just rumor. Yes, dell is going to have a dedicated card, but none of us know for sure which it is.

    There is going to be one integrated card and one dedicated card option like the I6000.

    This topic has been covered in several threads. Locking thread.
