    Would it be possible to put an 8700m gt into a 15/1720?

    I've just been wondering this recently because alot of people have been *****ing about the lower clock speeds of the 8600 gt, if yes, where could you buy a mobile gpu from? Newegg doesn't have any.

    Probably not, but if they were available, you could only get them from Dell themselves, or eBay perhaps.


    The only notebook GPU you can buy right now is the 8600GT which is made for the ASUS C90s only. Soon the ATI x2600 and three more notebook GPUs will be available from ASUS dealers, but they will be designed and made for ASUS notebooks only.
