    Last night, I read a whole guide about a guy upgrading his ATI X1400 to an nvidia 7800 go in an E1705. My E1505 currently has an X1400, and i was wondering if I could do the same. The 1505 and 1705 are practically the same chassis, just a 2 inch size difference. Also, when i looked at the pictures, the X1400 and 7800 were the exact same size with the exact same connectors. Like i said, My 1505 has an X1400 in it currently, so why not? I really want to be able to play Call of Duty 4 when it comes out. Thanks in advance.

    If you try it, let us know how it works out. Dell offered an option for a Geforce 7900GS in the E1705, but the E1505 didn't have that option. The thing I'd worry about is the heat the card would generate.
