Please contact me if you know any of the following and I will include them in this list for everyone to review:
- Another combination of video card and Dell notebook that is not listed here.
- You know of a driver modification that works.
- You know the Dell Part Number of a video card listed here.
- You know where to get pictures of the video cards.
- You have a correction to the information listed below.
Do not contact me if you are going to ask any of the following questions:
- What video card works with a particular notebook. If it is not on this list, I know nothing about it.
- Do not ask me how much a video card is because I do not sell anything on this site.
- Do not ask me where you can buy a video card. Use Google.
Does upgrading the video card void the existing warranty?
- No, except that if you break anything while you are upgrading the notebook, the damage is not covered. If your computer has to be sent back to Dell to get serviced, take out the new video card and put in the old one back in before you send it in because it will come back without the new card and it will have the type that you bought it with. Another great reason for onsite warranty!!

NOTE: If your screen flickers blue lines all over it and your video RAM now reports that it only has 32MB, call Dell and have your video card replaced. This is a known problem with this video card in the I5150 and may show up with the I5100..
Drivers for both the 32mb and 64mb ATI 9000's can be had at www.omegacorner.com The 2.5.14 works very well but 2.5.22 (the latest) causes artifacts |

4U284, 5U427 and 5X659 | You should have the UXGA (1600x1200) monitor. Make sure when you get into windows that you DISABLE all stand-by power settings as this somehow freezes the system up. Visit Omega drivers for the latest drivers. You can also visit Dell Community Member ssevennm site for the drivers. |
