    Hey guy's, I just bought a used Alienware M5500i-R3 and it has a nVida Geforce 8600m GT 512mb graphic's card. I was wondering if this is the original card or if this was a upgrade? Thank's.

    I think 8600M were the cheaper gpu's to get Alienware laptops with, so I don't think it is an upgrade.
