ok i am going to be getting a laptop for my birthday which is in about 11days. it says it has (1) Type I or Type II card. so does that mean i can buy a card later on or should i get the 64 MB ATI MOBILITYTM RADEON® X300 HyperMemory Graphics that you can upgrade to for $80. i want to have the best card for the cheapest amout of money. i would rather upgrade later on so that is my main question - can i add a graphics card later on?

I have always thought of upgrading laptops as being tricky, not so much with RAM but more so with a GFX card.

I would enquire with Dell as to how easy it would be to help make your decision
