Um, did dell ever have a better card made for the 5160? Becuase select dell's can actuall be upgraded......kinda.......check out http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=1562&page=1

If u can't upgrade that one, now would be the time to buy from dell with them offering a 40% off coupon code. i myself just now upgraded and am expecting my 9300 to be here any week here.....
