    oh and the discrete graphic card you can choose when you buy a new Dell Inspiron series, 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8400M GS. Is that better than 128MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 135M?

    Yes even though they have the same core(8400m GS) the quadro is not optimized for gaming, Its optimized for 2d Business apps while the 8400m GS is optimized/made for 3d gaming. So in games the Quadro cards should perform less then the Geforce Go cards.
