Dell Inspiron Video Cards....

[RedBeard]

So the inspiron 15" model has 3 dedicated video card options:

ATI mobility X1300 X1400, Nvidia 7300 Go

I am having trouble finding reviews of these notebook parts. Can anyone help?

The Video tab at the top of the page has some I think if you work backwards.

Speed ranking is X1400 then X1300 then 7300LE last, despite Dell charging more for it.

Yeah definitely get the MR X1400. I don't have a test on that Dell, but I did test the MR X1400 in a Thinkpad T60:

Ahh, thanks for the replies. The X1400 looks like a pretty good card since you can get it in a Dell for ~700.

I also found this posting for anyone else looking:

Riiight. X1300 has only 64MB RAM on board.

Of course, I'm subjective. X1400 is probably best choice for somebody who wants to game. X1300 is for somebody who is budget oriented, and 7300 Go for a linux user or nVIDIA fan.
