    Just Finished several tests, there is really 128M onboard memory on my sz650N/C.

    I returned one 650 last week due to the noise of keyboard, yesterday have to re buy one coz it's really not more option available in the market.

    after several tests done, it showed up the graphic card is nVIDIA NB8M-GS(G86M), and video memory size is 128M onboard. did sony change the size of memory or they just simply applied a new model on it?

    Are you sure? If so I wonder when they started doing that? Anyone else care to check their new 6xx's?

    If so that's pretty cool and would strip away yet another of the Dell 13.3's selling points.

    What software did you use to verify it is 128MB?

    If it's anything like Sony's European pricing that we are used too, it will be expensive.

    CompUsa is selling them with international warranty.

    I bought a SZ670 yesterday from a soy style store and according to rivatuner mine has 64mb so you might want to double check that....any of you guys try overclocking this yet too?....this notebook is pretty insane so far it has handled anything that I have thrown at it with ease!

    How did you perform those "tests," and what program is "it" that showed the video memory to be 128MB? Can you check the video memory with RivaTuner like thepenkwin suggested, please?
