    Hi all,

    I have done some research online and found very mixed responses.

    I have a DELL M4800 and I'd like to upgrade the GPU.

    Can anyone tell me if this is possible or not please? The general theory is that this is not possible (according to other forums) however other posts I've found suggest that it's possible to swop out the stock GPU with another model as long as it's an MXM connector and does not exceed the recommended wattage.

    Primarily I'd like the new GPU to be suited for gaming as others have said this is main bottle neck in this machine. Budget- wise upto and around 150-200 GBP would be the max.

    Can anyone help me shed some light on this please?

    Thanks in advance
