    I have a dell xps m1530 with a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M G card.

    I want to upgrade the card to the 9800 series (gt,gtx) whatever is better.

    I use this computer for autocad, 3d work and some occasional gaming.

    I would like to know what cards fit in my computer and would it be easy to install or just have someone else install it for me??

    price of the card doesnt matter.

    thanks

    well 9800m gtx wouldn't make any different in autocad, it's CPU rendering. you just need a fast CPU
