iXPS graphics card update

I supposed to be out in the june timeframe. Rumor has it that it will be a mobile version of the X800. You have a year after the card comes out to upgrade.

Also, AFAIK, the card isn't free - just the installation procedure (ie. the send a tech to do the upgrade and you don't get charged for labour).
