hey,
thanks for the reply paul. I was wondering if their is any difference between the two Gforce cards? I was told that the XPS is DDR3 and the Vostro is DDR2, could you confirm this for me? Or is the site just got a typo and both cards are infact the same?
I also checked out the 1510, the thing that lets me down with this model is the graphics is a 8400 - Although I am no hardcore gamer I am only going to be purchasing a laptop once and then won't be doing so until it dies

So i'd rather get as much as I can for my money. I'm not too fussed about the weight or size of the laptop, so paying extra for the laptop to be lighter or sleeker is at the bottom of my requirements list.
