    You want a Dell 460m? Maybe there's one on the marketplace here.
    Did you already call Dell? They should sell you one.

    I have a 470m for sale, but it's not Dell of course.

    No, not at all, especially since a user just got a 6970m from Dell for about $430!!!

    Now, they won't install it I guess, it's not officially available for the M15x. You need to be lucky and pretty convincing, otherwise the rep won't sell you a 6970m.

    Anyway, it isn't worth paying a single buck for installation, you can do it yourself - better.

    $614 + $200 is ridiculous. Better get a 6970m from ebay fror about $420, or from elsewhere on the net.

    You can get a 460m for less than $300, or a 5850m or 5870m for about $300 on the net.

    Bagdad PM me dude, I will have a 460m available real soon. But svl7 is right about how to go about getting the 6970m.
