    Does someone know a video card that would support Real View Graphics
    for a Dell Inspiron E-1705 dual core notebook?

    The short answer is "There aren't any". You have to order a "mobile
    workstation" with certified FireGL or QuadroFX graphics. You can't
    upgrade a standard notebook with workstation graphics.

    OTOH, the E1705 *might* be based on the same chassis as the Precision
    M90 and you *might* be able to purchase a Quadro FX 1500M module
    through Dell spare parts and Dell *might* provide the required drivers
    and you *might* actually be able to get it to work.

    I'd suggest either living without RealView graphics or purchasing a
    Dell Precision M90 mobile workstation with Quadro FX 1500M/2500M
    graphics preinstalled. There have been lots of really good deals on
    refurbished units on the Dell Outlet center recently. One customer
    just purchased a fully loaded system that would have retailed for over
    $4500 for $2799. There are 3 units avialable right now with 2GHz CPU
    and 4GB RAM for $1889, but inventory changes daily.
