Thinking about ordering a new Dell 5150 .It comes with 128mb ATI.Radeon X300se. Is it worth paying an extra £23.50 to upgrade to 256mb ATI.Radeon
X600.? I don't know if i will ever need it but if it is a good buy,i'm prepared to pay the extra just in case. Thanks.

I would say yes pay the extra, i have a laptop with the x600 and it runs everything i have thrown at it.
It really depends what your using the machine for but i usually get the best i can afford where computer parts are concerned.0 -
Hi
I have the 5150, I upgraded the sound card/speakers and the graphics card to a 256mb radeon X600. because I play games on my pc, and I thought I wouldn't have to upgrade for a while, so not costing me any extra money in the near future.
