Would it have been to much to ask for Dell to list the specific new video card in the release notes? I think they just enjoy teasing I9100/XPS owners.

because then no one would buy an XPS now - they would wait. remember, current m11 owners pay for the upgrade. when the new card is released, that will be the only option, so you get the new card without paying the premium.

I wonder how long it will take a resourceful XPS/I9100 owner to read the video card description from the flashBIOS code?

...but.... its a higher number.... the only thing better than a higher number is words like, pro, and turbo, and extreme at the end!

Lol, that is one example that I have seen all to often unfortunately. "I thought it could play games well, it said it had 64MB Intel EXTREME graphics!"
