    I was thinking about getting the y710-40542au model and noticed that all of the models have the Radeon HD 2600 XT listed as the system graphics. Even adding it to the cart shows it as the "XT" model. However, there is conflicting documentation on the website as to which card it should have.

    Can anyone who has bought the Y710 recently (say May or June) verify that the gfx card is indeed the 2600 XT and not the regular 2600 model. There is a huge difference between the two and I don't want to wind up returning it cuz it came with the wrong video.

    I guess I'll try calling tomorrow and find out but I have a feeling the sales rep will say it has a 2600 XT cuz that's what is listed on the website. The spec sheet says ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600.

    Also does anyone know the difference between the Y710 models 4054-2au and model/part #59013729.



    Thanks.
