    The memory type is not notebook specific. vram is ambigious depending how it is said, can be dedicated or shared. Hypermemory is ATI and TurboCache is NVidia both are sharing system RAM. What card comes with that notebook? I think dedicated which is good.

    And do you think it will work the same way as a full configured(that is at its full upgrade) dell xps m1530 would and would this be a better choice???
