    Hello all,

    I have an Aurora 7700 Notebook that I've had for about 2 1/2 years and I've finally decided to upgrade a few things. For one, I have two 512mb 3200 DDR that I am going to replace with a 1 GB each. That leaves me with the graphics card. Currently I have a NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra and it is time to upgrade this as well.

    Basically what I am looking for is something more advanced that won't necessarily be too expensive. The two main games that I play on this is FFXI and Command & Conquer: Kane's Wrath. I was wondering if I can stick one of the newer GeForce cards in here or if I have to go with an older model. When reviews came out at the time this did, it seemed like the 7900 was the most advanced one.

    If you need any more information then please let me know. Thanks for the advice.

    you can get up to 7950GTX (Clevo proprietary module) for that system (Clevo D900K).

    you can get the videocards for this model notebook from:
    - www.eurocom.com (contact them)
    - www.rjtech.com
    - www.ebay.com (sometimes people will sell them).
