NVIDIA Graphics Question?

Question

Hello

I just bought Dell Inspiron 1520 and I need to ask

In the receipt & after I check the system configuration it shows that this laptop has NVIDIA® GeForce 8600M GT

Video Graphics with 256MB GDDR2 dedicated graphics memory.

But when I turn on the laptop it shows in the computer system & Device Manager only Standard VGA graphics Adapter!

What that’s mean? And in component shows 3D business and gaming graphics performance?

Plus this details:

Graphics

	Display adapter type	Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
	Total available graphics memory	Not detected
	Dedicated graphics memory	0 MB
	Dedicated system memory	0 MB
	Shared system memory	0 MB
	Display adapter driver version	6.0.6000.16386
	Primary monitor resolution	1280x800
	DirectX version	DirectX 8 or earlier

I can’t find any thing at all shows NVIDIA® GeForce 8600M GT

Video Graphics with 256MB GDDR2 dedicated graphics memory !

Please if some one knows I appreciated

Thanks

It means one of two things: Either you haven't installed the video driver, or Since this is one of nVidia's 'lemon' chips, the card may have failed - it's very common.
