    I was thinking maybe we should start a new thread with pictures of the different GPU's so that we can have a library of how they look like. This may assist people in wanting to see if a particular GPU will fit in their laptop / Notebook with their existing heat sink, etc. I really hope this helps people. :D God Bless :)


    I will start with my Nvidia 8800M GTX from Alienware M15X

    Notebook GPUs are not really interchangeable...not at all. Sure some are upgradeable, but they almost always use a proprietary connection or use a somewhat rare MXM format.

    I added " *56k Warning* " to the title due to the number of images that have already been posted and (possibly) will be posted.

    You have a nice camera, jdeclue. Those closeups would be awesome shots if they were in focus. You should check your camera to see how to turn on it's Macro Mode.

    Edit: Here's an example of Macro Mode. These images were taken with a $150 Nikon Coolpix "point and shoot" 4mp camera, resized to 50%.
