    I'm having no luck trolling the net for an SLI cable to connect my second Nvidia 7900GS 256MB card to the other. Since I purchased this laptop used AW is unable to help, so turning over to the fora elite for some assistance.

    If anyone has one to sell or you can point me in the direction of one, it would be most appreciated.

    Cheers and thx in advance.

    I can probably order you one if they are the same for the M9750 and the M9700 or any other M9750 for that matter. Research if they are the same cable THEN reply here or PM me and I'll try work payment and everything out (I don't have a paypal verified account YET).

    Where do you live?

    By the way this is why I hate AW. It is a simple cable that they could sell for like $50 (even though it's not worth that much most likely) to 2nd owners. I'll try to help you out though.

    AW has the SLI cable for sale. It was $10 shipped when I bought from them 6 mo ago.

    If you need someone to buy it from AW for you, its really cheap and I could see about helping out.

    I wasn't able to pm or email for some reason. If one of you can email me at [email edited out for safety by moderator] I'd like to take you up on your offer, cheers. We'll work out pmt and shipping, i'm in Toronto, Canada. As far as research, I compared the pics from the AW card unseating for M9750 to the one for M9700 and the black sli cable looks identical. Look fwd to hearing from you guys..thx again, you made my day!

    Kev - I gave you private message permissions. They are not enabled for new members with little posts due to spamming issues.

    For your safety, I edited our your email address since it will get picked up by spam bots real fast.

    I have the exact same issue :( Bought the laptop NEW from a company who went bankruptcy. AW is not able to help me. Why wouldn't they agree to sell the cable, if I didn't had a AW, why would I try to buy this cable ?
