Anyone ever heard anything about this particular graphics card (not for sale by dell ireland yet as far as i can see) is it a true 512Mb or a 256Mb then uses 256Mb RAM?

Does anyone know if the D820 fits the docking station for the Inspiron 8600?

And finally how does the 3G card work is is a slot in card that will work with an Inspiron 9400?

Thanks

Specs here
AFAIK it uses nVidia's Turbocache technology to use up to 512mb RAM. I *think* it has [strike]64mb[/strike]128mb discrete memory.

If it's a D/Dock then it should. If it's a USB dock it should still work but it's more a port replicator then...

No, it's built-in/onboard and can't be removed.

Yeah see it on the dell site but when you are doing up a configuration its unavailable.....

Sounds like it will do the job i want it to i.e. work and the odd gaming in the car with 2Gb 667Mhz ram should work well

The dock is a D/Dock (dont like the new port replicators dell claim to be docks they use for the inspirons these days)
