    I'm thinking about the M1330 with integrated Intel graphics (I'm not a gamer).

    I had a few questions if anyone can assist.

    Will the intergrated graphics be able to play downloaded HD res video clips?

    What is the max external resolution through VGA? Through HDMI? Can I run some high res external monitor off of it?

    What kind of dual-head capabilities does the x3100 have?

    Thanks!

    You shouldn't have any problems with playing a downloaded HD video on the M1330. I don't believe a lot of cards are actually capable of accelerated HD decoding, but it won't be an issue as the CPU is capable of doing a fine job in that respect.

    I am unfortunately unable to assist you in with the other questions, so let's have some M1330 owners pass by :D

    Thanks Ith.

    Any 1330 owners have the answers to my other questions? I checked Dell's site for specs but couldn't find the info.
