    I noticed that the new Radeon 9800 graphics card is available on the USA Dell website for the Dell Inspiron 9100; when will it be available on the Irish Dell site? Should I wait around before I buy the 9100.
    Is the Inspiron very loud? Due to the amount of fans and power of system. During DVD palyback, surly it cant be loud?
    I hope you dont mind me asking questions here.
    Thanks.

    I dont think it's very loud at all. Im on mine right now and its just as quite as any other notebook i've used. It does have it's moments where the fans kick on pretty high and it sounds a bit loud, but thats only happened 2 maybe 3 times in the past week that ive had it, and it normally only lasts for a few minutes. But the sound system on the 9100 is probably the best i've heard in a notebook, now that can get pretty loud if u like it to. I'd wait it out and get the 9800 ati. From what i read it is a big differance, i wish i had known that 2 weeks ago when i ordered mine.
