Hello MSU Network Admin Group, Can someone give me an update on what Dell is currently doing about the problem(s) caused by the defective Nvidia graphis chips used on some Dell portables a while back. I have a Dell XPS M1530 purchased in Dec 2008 who's warranty is about to expire and I think its video chip is starting to go bad. Thanks Cliff -- Clifford L.
