    it'd probably be in handy for future games, especially because SLI does not work very well in the new dell laptop.

    Do you live in Australia? For an additional $250 card that will bring with it a slight improvement on games I don't play - I was thinking along the lines of "kiss-my-ass".
    Don't know about the battery life question - I heard around an hour and 10 minutes.

    I didn't get it, the reviews on this card say it actually reduces fps because it puts more objects on the screen. Also I think you would need the extreme processor to cancel out this affect.

    No :confused: To Dell Australia. The card is not worth an extra $250.
