    Hi,

    Firstly I would like to say sorry if there is already a thread like this.
    Currently I am using M17x R2 with a single HD5870M, and would like to get another HD5870M to boost the performance.

    After having problem with ebay card, I think I would just buy from dell directly.
    The problem is, in UK, I don't know who to contact to get the price quotation.

    If someone here lives in the UK, and know any email of a dell person to be contacted for this upgrade, could you please share it with me?

    Many thanks! :)

    its better to sell your current 5870 for 120gbp and buy 6970 for 250 :)

    Thanks for the answer flingin.
    But I can't seems to find any HD 6970M on ebay UK.
    Or do you mean 250GBP is directly from dell as well?

    Take a look at nbr marketplace and ebay worldwide.

    Contact a sales manager if you want the card from Dell, IF they still sell it that is.

    Thanks a lot for your information.
    I have called Dell UK, and they said they have no HD5870M in stock anymore.
    Sad case. :(
