Thank you but I have done all of that type of investigation and my 
nvidia card is supported. I made sure of that when I built this my Dell 
9400 Inspiron laptop. It is equipped with the latest hardware I could 
find in order to keep up with the new tech. It won't be long though 
before I will have to buy a more up to date laptop.
