    Graphic card questions


    Kinda noobish with these graphic parts....


    I have a m17x with a single GTX260 card,



    My questions are,

    +Can I buy another GTX260 card and put it in my computer?
    +Does my system already have and SLI cable so that I can install another
    GTX260 card?

    +Do i just contact dell or does dell sell the card on their site?

    If you buy another card it has to be flashed as slave if I remember correctly. You will also need to get an SLI cable as your computer does not have one. You can contact dell to order. Just be ready to pay a premium for it.
