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

I don't know your specific laptop - but I got some answers to a similar question in this post:

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.
