Laptop video card question: why upgrade?
A new computer in the form of a Dell laptop is on the horizon, and I'm debating whether to stay with the Integrated 'Graphics Media Accelerator', or plug in another $130 for a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce card.
What's the advantage here? I am not a gamer, but I need a high-performance laptop for various multimedia production; will this more expensive video card allow for smaller resolution? The screen's only 12.1". If this new card can accomplish something awesome like 1920 X 1200, then I'm sold, but if not, what reasons do I have for getting a better card? Thank you for any input. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

So you're saying that even if I did grab the upgrade, the monitor itself (12.1") would not be able to handle the high resoluation anyway?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Well if I am working on things I'd have a second monitor hooked up to it. But it looks like I don't have a need to upgrade.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
