I just picked up a Dell XPS system in my Sig.
It has a whopping 3GB GTX555m video card.
I wanted a laptop capable of some light gaming, but why is Nvidia wasting money on 3GB when clearly 1.5GB would be lots for these cards? And what's funny, Dell charges MORE for a 3GB model over a 1.5GB model, on a laptop with a 1600x900 screen unless you pay to upgrade.
Is it really just to fool people into thinking, "wow, 3GB VIDEO CARD!!" ?
