My card is going bad, and I need to buy a new one, Can I put a better card in my m15x, or is the 9800m gt the best/ or safest card for me?
And does anyone know where I can buy a notebook video cards? I've looked everywhere.

Rjtech eBay nbr
alot of the clevo resellers sell them
you can put 8800 gtx 9800gt 3870M 4850m 8700Gt 4650m 280 gtx 260 gtx
should be most of them .... -
Any that Moo said should work, but keep in mind they might run really, really hot.

I just ordered the ati mobility 3870 for 175 dollars from Alienware last week. It's a little weaker than an 9800M GT though.
The 280 is great, but it's going to get hot. You can buy a 280GTX from mxm-upgrade. Just click the link in my sig and it'll take you to the page where you can order one. -
Buy it right here. LINK

I'd go with the ATI 3870 if i were you, 175 dollars?? That's an awesome price, if you can get that in your m15x buy it and dont look back!

Hi,
I upgraded my m15x with the 260m GTX card. It's great in games and I have only expeirenced temps up to 84C.
Here's a thread I made on how to upgrade:

Hey? since a 260/280MGTX and 4850 would work..in his older m15x..shouldn't a 4870 work as well? isn't 280MGTX MXM 3 B...???
-
Two different versions of the 260/280 but there are two different versions of the 4870s. I don't know which type is in the Asus W90 but the one that comes with the new M17x will not work.
-
the Asus had a 2.1 MXM but it was upside down slot .... so it wont work

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses, Sorry for a delayed reply. Been driving for the last 2 days, destination Minnesota.
Anyways, I think I might go with the 260, Seems balened, not as hot as the 280 (unless I'm wrong), and more pwer than the 9800gt.
Where can I buy the 260 though? -
Rjtech eBay most clevo resellers

got it, looking at RJ tech right now. Also looking at Nvidia, comparing the differences between the 9800 and the 260.
buy an m15x video card?
