    Hey

    I have an Acer aspire 7720 but my 8400m gs died. So I would like to replace it by another card, it doesnt matter if it is good or not. I just didnt find a 8400m gs on the net so I'm looking for another gpu.

    I would like to know if the HD 3650 HD3650 DDR2 512M MXM II with an acer bios would fit in my 7720.

    I did read a little bit about the 7720 gpu upgrade, I know that a 9600m gt or a 8600m gt would fit but I don't want to pay 200 $.

    I didnt find anything about the hd3650 so it's why I'm asking... I found it for 70 $ on ebay.

    Thankss.

    Hey

    Maybe my question wasnt clear enough.. I know where to find the gpu but I want to know if the hd 3650 is compatible with my laptop, aspire 7720.

    Thanks.

    I don't see why it wouldn't be: the Radeon HD 3650 has worked in similar models like the 5920G, 6920G, 7520G, and 8920G.

    Awesome news, mathh45! Could you please post some screenshots or pictures? If you do, this'll go in as a success in the Acer MXM thread.
