    What when doing what, how many hours are you guys getting for the M6600?

    Please tell me your specs and programs you run. What are some realistic numbers?

    Thank you for your answer in advance.

    I don't think there is an easy way to check without pulling it out.

    Another update. I gamed for a couple of hours with no problems on the flash. However, last night I got a BSOD twice(Just in general windows use) and I am not sure if it is related. I flashed back just to see if that was an issue.

    Long story short, I have two Dell Quadro 4000M cards (each 100w), similar to 480M.

    NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 4000M - faster than GTX 285M 3800M | eBay


    As you can see, there seems to be sli cable in the card. Now I am not sure if Nvidia has designed it so that professional workstation graphics card can be setup in SLI. And not sure if the bios of M18x will realize it.

    Anyone have any idea if I can hook these up in SLI? I will very much appreciate your help in advance!

    If I were to put in two 4000M with sli inside an M18x that takes 100w of both cards, will it work?

    My question is, does nvidia design the workstation cards so that they can be set up in sli? I have yet to find a single recent mobile workstation in a quadro sli...

    According to the picture, there is a slot for the cable...

    Please let me know what you think. Thank you for your response in advance!

    Anything else?

    you wont know till you try. and going by what seems to be the standard...any cards with sli connectors....usually work (same matching card that is)....usually that is.

    or

    ask dell bill to ask Louis. he would know if that would be possible.
