    Due to my stock Firepro M8900 video card, which is coming to its end (black screen on system startup) I'm wondering if any of you can help me choose the propper video card and where to buy it for my workstation laptop.

    I found several posts about upgrading the metioned workstation with the Firepro M6100 video card. I'm located in EU, but if here is no sellers I will grab it from somewhere else.

    Is there anything I should be aware of, before putting it in?
    - will it work with M8900 heatsink
    - which thermal paste you suggest
    - ...

    This is what I found interesting for me http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=18763

    Thank you in advance.
