Gaming Card in Business Laptop?

I'm thinking about ordering a Dell Latitude D830 (I get a business discount from dell and can get the latitude fully loaded for under $2k), but after reading about business graphics cards (namely the Quadro NVS series), I'm skeptical on their performance and compatibility with recent games.

Does anyone know if it is possible to special order a gaming card in a business laptop or are the business laptops constructed such that this would be impossible?

I would love to have the 8600m GT instead of the Quadro NVS 140M.

Can anybody comment on real world gaming with a Quadro NVS 140M.

 

You would not be able to order a specific/special card outside of the lineup currently offered. If you are looking for more performance than this, the D830 will not fit your needs.

 

you can try the vostro line

 

Look at the Asus V1S or the Asus VX2S. Those would have all the business features of the Latitudes but come with top-of-the-line gaming GPUs.

 

Does anybody have any practical experience hitting limitations trying to play games using "workstation" graphics instead of "consumer/gaming" graphics? If you look at the specs, the Quadro NVS line seems to have all of the features needed and the whole Quadro line looks like it is just rehashes of the GeForce line( or the other way around ). So what is the big difference?

EDIT: To me, the whole thing just seems like a marketing gimmick to create and control two different markets. Most likely a way to get large business sales by marking Quadro down and enable high GeForce prices by convincing gamers that the Quadro won't work for gaming. I am not a PC gamer, so please, somebody correct me if I am wrong.

 

Well the vostro line can have an 8600GT (even though the line is essentially an all-black 1520).

i'd check out HP's 8510 lineup.
