    Well they don't show it available on the Canadian site so I'm not sure they would ship here?

    How much are they?

    Well, call them and ask. I have no idea about the US prices, sry. Another option is rjtech or as you're in Canada the eurocom parts site is maybe better (considering shipping costs... they're located in Canada afaik)

    If you are in Canada getting them from upgradeyourlaptop on ebay would save you loads of shipping.

    I tried ordering from Dell and they said it was in stock, I waited a week and the delivery date passed by without it arriving. Called dell and they said it was out of stock and they weren't sure when they were getting more in. The price of it was 389 + tax and shipping charges. So I ordered a 5870m instead, it was 349 all together with next business day shipping.

    Gallardos - Do you happen to have the Dell part number for the 5870?

    Yeah part number is C8245 it's a 5870m out of an M17x but as people have verified here on the forums it works just fine. The one I received however was defected and now I have to wait to get the replacement part :(. I do know for a fact they have a good amount of them in stock. One of the reps I spoke to said they had 90 of them. So if your gonna wait to grab one I don't think they'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

    Thanks for the info, Gallardos.

    I just finished chatting with a dell parts rep .. they said they do not have that part number in stock. I think they just don't want to sell parts to me :[

    Yea i was lucky the first rep i spoke with didnt fight me with the whole it's not in stock or it's not for your laptop. Call dell spare parts dont't talk to a regular rep because they cant see inventory for some parts.
