    I was wondering if it was possible to put an Nvidia Quadro card into the Alienware M15x ?

    Hasn't been tried so far... it may work but I can't say it for sure. Anyway, why do you want a Quadro in your system? Intensive CAD work? A Quadro card is usually unnecessary expensive, sometimes you can take the corresponding GTX card instead and flash it with the Quadro vbios afaik.

    And "regular" cards aren't necessarily bad performers in CAD stuff.

    They're pretty expensive. Can't think of many folks with one knocking around to test out. Be cool though!
