Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT Discrete, Integrated/UMA or HyperMemory?

Looking to buy a laptop but want to know if the graphics card I am paying for is discrete. I don't want to pay for an upgrade if it's only hypermemory or integrated.

By design it supports GDDR3 or cheaper DDR2 RAM. So it really depends on the actual implementation on a laptop. If it has GDDR3, then it is dedicated memory. If just ddr2, it could be using Turbocache technology. By the way, Hypermemory is proprietary to ATI cards.

I'm almost positive it has dedicated RAM, but not 100%. Here is the nvidia page.
