    Since there may be a bunch of used ATI HD3870's flooding the market since Alienware will be releasing the HD4850's for the M17, makes me wonder if the HD3870's will fit and work on other laptops such as the MSI GX620 / GX630 ??? Let me know what you all think. God Bless :)

    i doubt we will see a bunch of used hd3870's. most people dont know how to or even know that thier laptop can be upgraded and even less people actually will upgrade thier gpu on their laptop. a 3870 to a 4850 isnt a huge jump.

    i will def be selling off my 3870's as soon as alienware lets me order the 4850's....and going from a 3870 to a 4850 is a pretty significant jump....in GAMES....fps are way higher
