    Greetings!

    I've been trolling these forums for some time now just never posted anything until now. I've been rebuilding my old M7950 for the fun of it, and am currently in dire need of a crossfire cable for my two ATI 3870 cards. Ebay has failed me, as have most of my interweb searches. Would anyone here be willing to part with one if the price is right? I'll PayPal an agreed upon price to who ever bites on this thread. Thanks for looking!

    2. I can't believe that after the hours of trolling Ebay I did not stumble on this listing....here's to hoping it will work on my M7950!

    I assume with M7950 you mean M9750? Did you add the 3870's yourself as I don't remember those laptops coming with them.

    One thing to check out is the connector on the cards. For example my red pcb 4850 has a VERY different connector than the green pcb 4850's that came as an upgrade option for the original M17. Whichever crossfire cable you purchase will need to have a matching connector.
