XPS M1530 graphics... DDR2 or DDR3?

Can someone tell me whether the XPS M1530 NVIDIA 8600M graphics card uses DDR2 or DDR3 RAM?  I've seen two reviews that say it's DDR3 ( http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4127 and http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-XPS-M1530-Notebook.7295.0.html), while I thought I saw on the Dell website somewhere that it's DDR2.   Which is is?

The 1530 uses DDR-3.

I'm a little confused about this still.  Two post say it the XPS 1530 uses DDR3 on the GF 8600GT.

 

Now I talked to Dell's support twice about this graphics card, and BOTH times they've told me it is DDR2 on the GF8600GT.  I don't know what to believe anymore, and I've already ordered the XPS 1530.  If it is DDR2 I think I'll leave it with the 3gb of ram, and if it is DDR3 I would like to upgrade it to 4gb of ram.  I just don't know which... DDR2 or DDR3.
