    Depending on the laptop you have (and it is laptop specific, so we need to know what you have) the card may not be swappable.

    All dell graphics cards are made by Quanta, so finding one may no be so easy. First, you must open your laptop and look at the graphics card and write down teh model number. Than run a quick google search and hopefully you can find one somewhere for sale. The only place I would think which has them is ebay, but you may have to buy someone's broken m170 (which has a working gpu) to fix your system.

    You can try emailing dell, or calling, but the card is probably $500 +
