Dell Inspiron 6000 video questions

[Zombie]

I ordered a dell inspiron because I'm starting classes in January (CCNA!) and I ended up trying to make it as "upgradeable" as possible, while still being relatively on the cheap side. With dell's customize options I chose the integrated 64 video memory, while thinking I can just buy a mid-range (x600) mobility card later on (the only real video card dell offered was the x300, thats the low-range card.) I'm not sure if the motherboard will still include the PCI Express port, does anyone know? A rather extensive google search returns nothing.

I am guessing this is a laptop? :shrug:

Heh.. I accidently labeled it a "dimension" its an Inspiron. (I've got a dimension in the other room, and it had video problems of its own)

and yes its a laptop

Yes it still will have PCIe, but chances are you won't be able to find anthing higher than an x300 because dell has been pretty proprietory with there laptops.

Diamon Viper (one of the "powered by ATI" companies) makes the x700 mobility, so far thats all I've found.
