    Hey,

    I currently have the X300 in my laptop (inspiron 9300). I'm buying a second laptop for my sis and it's a dell 6400 and it happens to have the X1400 in it. I was wondering if we can swap video cards... so that she gets the X300 and I get the X1400.

    Thoughts? I'm open to any modifications this would take to get it working.

    I looked at the FAQ on updating video cards. It doesn't include the 9300... Would this have worked if the X1400 was coming from a 9400 instead of a 6400?
