Dell Vostro 1320 with 256MB 9400M graphics?

[Parasitic]

Has anyone ever bought a Vostro 1320 off Dell Outlet before? I ordered a system yesterday with 256MB 9400M as the graphics option, but then apparently it's not an option offered on their retail line (only Intel 4500MHD or 9300M GS available) and searching on google yields no real information about it.

My build sheet doesn't specify 9400M, aside from the option "base assembly, discrete 1320", leading me to believe that it's a typo and I'm actually going to be getting a discrete graphics 9300M GS instead of an integrated 9400M.

Anyone with similar experience?

there isnt much difference between the two

I was under the impression that they did use the 9300M (my latitude e6400 uses it also).

I tried to contact Dell sales support and they suggested that the refutbed models may have been special models that got their motherboards from Studio XPS 13...but that sounds a little farfetched.

The service manual for the 1320 only mentions the integrated Intel 4500MHD and the discrete NVIDIA 9300M GS.

Do you have something printed with the graphics specification you saw? If so, you can probably get concession from Dell if it turns out to be something else.

Mmmm...I didn't think about that. It's not explicit on the invoice either though
Funny you mentioned the service manual - I was going through a service manual too, the one with Vostro 1320/1520/1720 together and that one said 9400M instead of 9300M GS.

Update: I got the machine today. The 9400M is a typo. Nvidia's system information panel reveals that it's got a 9300M GS with 256MB of discrete memory under the hood.
