    I know some things are 'possible',but Dell says its impossible along with this other tech support forum I asked on,so I figured id ask here

    I have an E1705 with the Geforce 7900GS and would really like to upgrade to something DirectX10,if possible,but if not,wouldn't the 7950GTX fit in my laptop,because there dosent seem to be much difference in my 1705 then in the newer 1710 notebooks,least the outside view anyway.

    Also,if the 7950GTX is the only possible upgrade,would it be worth the cost and effort?

    so,just to make sure,its proven that that DX10 cards wont fit in this laptop?

    it seems that card runs arond 400 on ebay,pondering weather the benchmarks are worth of an upgrade worth that much or not
