This is what throws us off about the warranty though, on the support website the status says "In Warranty", but the expiration date is listed as 9-14-2008 :thinking: Hopefully they will clear that up whenever I can get a support rep on the phone.

I just read through the warranty statement, you are correct. 1 year.

He did not call. I just sat on hold for an hour waiting to speak to somebody, finally got the option to leave a voice mail and have my call returned.

I'll look into EVGA, thanks for the info.

Personally, I would stay away from onboard video as well but he does not play games or do anything graphics intensive other than watch TV and movies so I figured it would be cheaper.

Just read the warranty statement, you guys are correct. Thanks.

I know it's all IBM, but the PC says Lenovo on it so for the sake of being clear about the specific model, I stated Lenovo.


Thanks for the reply's everybody!
