[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 161230, member: 184"] Im just not seeing what you are seeing. I took a look at Dell's stuff and most of them are 32 or 64 for their laptops and they are actually not very upfront with what they have.. they call it xga, sxga, uxga and so forth.. which really does not tell you much about how much vram they have! So I had to do more research and I still could not find any, especially low end notebooks with that much vram.. or even that much ram period.. most ram it seems to only be able to get 512MB's or so, while my powerbook can hold 2 Gig's of RAM. Ok onto vram some more.. Ill continue looking for cheap laptops that come with 64 or 128 MB's or more. Wahoo I found one! Dell's top of the line laptop the XPS M170 which costs $2,699 and has 256 in it, while all the rest has 64 or less. And it looks like it's a 17", too big for my taste, but might be good for you. It's about the same price as the 17" PowerBook, they are both pretty comparable from what I can see. I think you might be reading about PC graphic cards for desktop computers, not for laptops.. that's a completely different thing :) Well that was interesting to compare Dell with Apple.. Ill need to do that again some time :) [/QUOTE]
