Dell is moving into the mobile workstation market - such as it is - with a notebook based on Nvidia's Quadro 2 Go graphics chip, The Register has learned. The machine, to be called the Mobile Precision Workstation M40 - a name intended to play off Dell's workstation line rather than its portable line-up - is essentially a Latitude C810 with a Quadro 2 Go chip rather than a GeForce 2 Go. And apart from the name on the box, the M40 differs from the C810 with a unique ID on BIOS start-up screen. Sources close to the company tell us the M40 will ship with a 1.13GHz 0.13 micron Mobile Pentium III-M (aka Tualatin), a full complement of 512MB of PC133 SDRAM, 48GB 5400rpm ATA-100 hard drive, 15in 1600x1200 TFT LCD and a 6x/4x DVD/CD-RW drive. The machine will run Windows 2000.
