    Hey,

    I currently have a m15x with a 260m and I'm going to buy a cheap 460m (card only) pulled out from a m17x.

    My questions: Is the card going to fit in the m15x, without any complications or advanced operations. (ie: xbraket or heatsink)

    I'm already on A09.

    Thanks.

    Yes it will fit, the x bracket can be salvaged from the 260m and the heatsink should fit the card too.

    It is pretty much plug and play. You won't have to tweak anything.
