    Hi guys,

    i want to sell my used Nvidia card, now the only question I have is what other laptops can they be used in. (This is an Alienware m15x stock model). So I can answer if anyone is interested in.

    If you want to sell the card, you could PM a moderator and get them to move this thread to the Notebook Review Marketplace, then you can edit it for a sale.

    You may have a hard time finding a buyer though - Australia is a difficult place to buy and sell technology, and the shipping to the States or Europe is pretty expensive and can be difficult to organise.

    negative, I don't want to sell it just yet. I just wanted to know what other computers it will fit with. And yes, it will be tough to sell it in AUstralia.

    the Sager Np8690 and 8760 should be able to use it depending on the heatsink... also the M15x or M17x can use it too...

    8690 and 8760 all have 5870MR, or 285M/280M, or at the very least a 260M, so I doubt anyone with them will want it. Those with M15x with 240M though might want it, though they are probably better off with a 5870MR.

    well i was just suggesting... anyways , M15x owners of refurbished M15x with GT240M should snap it up most likely.
