Actually, it was a hack. A hack is doing something that never was originally intended.
This was actually done previously by people on the delltalk boards. I decided to buy the 8100 and put the GF4go in it the first night I had the laptop. Even now, you still need hacked drivers for it to work (well, thats mostly dells fault for not releasing new drivers more frequently).
I would like to say that doing this doesn't really void the warranty. Several people have sent their laptops in after they have done this, WITH the modified card in, and Dell DOES repair it.
I am on an internship 6k miles away from my desktop for 3 months. Its nice to be able to pick my comp up and move anywhere while still being able to play games.
