    Hello.
    My laptop Acer Aspire 8730G 644g32mn graphic card is broken, and I would like to raplace it for a new one. Original video card on my computer has an ATI RADEON 109-V171 b80631-00a ver 1.0. 512mb. would be great if I could buy the same, but i cant find the same replacement !.. Only on ebay I found a similar card, that could fit, but I do not know whether the BIOS supports these cards. As far as I understand the computer is MXM-II.

    Can anyone help me find the right graphics card? Before i buy a new, i would like to be 100% sure about the compatibility.

    Do any of these fit?

    Hi there,

    according to http://www.mxm-upgrade.com/Table.html your Laptop has MXM 2.1 (the site ink the link calls this III, not to be confused with MXM 3.0) so any MXM 2 will fit -> any of the links will do. I'd go with the HD4650, since it is much more powerful than the HD3650.

    The vbios on most ATI card is stored on the card itself, which means you don't need to worry about the system's bios. All of the links you provided seem to be cards with the vbios chip on the card.

    Regards
