    I have two questions which I hope can be answered. My first question is :

    What type of MXM is a Quadro FX770 graphics card; and therefore what other graphic cards can I upgrade to?

    My second question is :

    I want to both gaming and do CAD to a very reasonable level as its probably my most enjoyable subject in Uni; therefore is it difficult to change the graphic drivers to make the Quadro act like a Geforce or should I just instead do one of the following:

    1.) Leave it as the FX770 will game as good
    2.) Create a partition with one having the CAD drivers and the other having the Quadro drivers

    Thank you for reading this long topic, and even more thanks if you answer
