    Hello, Can somedody help with these questions?
    I taught the ATI Radeon card is only for the XPS and not the 9100.
    Can I stick the Radeon 9800 in the 9100 latter?
    I have heard people complain about the build quality of the 9100. I was told problems will develope latter. Is this ture?
    Should I trust the Dell insiron with the 3y complete care?
    When will the 9800 Radeon be available on the Irish Dell site?

    1. There are a lot of radeon cards. The 600m uses a radeon 9000, the 8600 is available with a 9600 pro turbo and the 9100/xps can use a 9700 or 9800.
    2. Yes you can, but it isn't easy

    4. You could trust it, but you may find better offers through your insurance company. look for "personal articles" insurance.
    5. donno.
