    I went to that graphics card thread and it says it isn't so. Is it being TurboCache change much?

    Here's the dell from DELL.CA:

    128MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1300 HyperMemory™ [Included in Price]
    256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory™ [add $20]
    256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™Go 7300 TurboCache [add $70 or $2/month1]

    LOL. It's NOT BETTER, but worse. It's about as good as a X1300

    Lemme give u a guideline from worst to best on most of today's comps:

    Intel Integrated GMA 900/950
    ATi X300
    ATi X1300 and NVIDIA Geforce Go 7300 TurboCache
    ATi X600 and NVidia Geforce Go 7400 TurboCache
    ATi X1400
    ATi X700
    ATi X1600 and NVidia Geforce Go 7600
    ATi X800
    ATi X1800
    ATi X1900

    correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'd say, take the X1400 ATi Radeon 'cuz it's the best out of the 3.

    TurboCache and HyperMemory just mean that only half of that memory is on the card and the other half is shared with system RAM.

    Turbocashe and Hypermemory arent that great. They slow down system performance even.

    n00b, we don't need comments like that...better off keeping those to yourself. I merely posted the link again for those who wished to see. You could have also posted the question in there too.
