    Hello!

    Graphics card on my Acer Aspire 5920G died a couple of days ago and i am looking for a replacement. I read about people replacing their cards with Ati radeon HD 4670, nVidia GeForce GT 240M and others.

    Im interested in the nVidia option, since i read somewhere that it runs cooler and performs about the same as the Ati card.

    My question is, where in Europe can i buy it?

    I checked the ebay already and i couldnt find anything that would fit. It has to be a MXM type 2 card.

    You should be able to run the ATI 4670 HD as long as it is DDR2. I upgraded that to my 6920G back in the day and it ran really well. MXM upgrade says it will work on a 5920 as well.

    No you can run the drr3 version for sure but, it may require bios flashing.
