    The guy just wanted to make a sale. There is no way the M1330 could handle the heat of a 8600 card...

    people like us are usually more informed than the salesman them selves. sounds like this sales person is not very informed.

    In the big 1520 GDDR2 or GDDR3 thread I found a link to a to the wikipedia page of the 8600M GT. Dell said they get their info from there.

    So I went to wikipedia and edited the specs of the 8600M GT to saying that it is GDDR2 or GDDR3 (the nvidia page also says this) and that the memory runs at 400-700mhz... But the bot keeps changing it back :( does someone have a registed wikipedia account so we can get the right info up there so Dell can improve their service?
