    So this is probably something you don't get asked everyday. I hear that the mobile workstation cards are mxm and I *THINK* the 460 is also? I wonder if you can throw in a quadro or a firepro into the R3. It should fit right?

    As long as you have the correct MXM type and vBios, yes.

    Most of them are slower than the current gen of desktop cards unless your going to play like 5 times as much.
