    Hi,

    I want to buy and install another ati mobility radeon hd 4870 into my laptop. What is the best way of going about this? Will I have to send it to Dell, or can I order the part off the internet?
    Thanks
    Will

    Dell is pretty much the only place you'll be able to get one from. You'd need the card itself, but also the crossfire cable and the heatsink and fan.

    It WON'T be cheap, wherever you get it from, I warn you now. It WOULD have been cheaper getting it in the system to start off with; Dell might be looking for $500 or possibly even more.
