Hi,
Just joined today hoping for some advice about the graphic card options in a proposed Latitude E6400 purchase.
The two options in the E6400's I am considering are:
1. Intel X4500HD
2. NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M 256mb DDR3
The NVIDIA is the more expensive card but I am wondering if I really need it. The laptop will be connected to an Eizo Flexiscan 22" flat panel most of the time and used for for a mix of home and business, mainly business.
The PC will not be used for gaming or any CAD/Photoshop work, the main use is for work with large excel spreadsheets and ms access databases plus internet and other general use.
The two PC's I am looking at are approximately the same price but with slightly different specs:
1. Intel X4500HD, T9400 2.56ghz CPU (6mb cache), 250gb HDD (7200rpm FFS), 14.1" 1440x900 LED screen.
2. NVIDIA Quadro, P8600 2.4ghz CPU (3mb cache), 160gb HDD (7200rpm FFS), 14.1" 1280x800 LED screen
Option 1 above is £10 (approx $15) more expensive and considering my usage I am leaning towards that option.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Thx & Rgds
