    Hello everyone,
    I just wanted to make sure what I gathered from the 8760w Owner's thread is correct. Basically, I have a 8760w with a Core i7 2720qm, a Quadro 3000m, and 16gb of RAM. However, I have noticed that the 3000m is kinda lackluster for running games. I was looking at upgrading it, but from what I saw in the thread, the 8760w has a whitelist. Basically, I want to upgrade from my 3000m to a Firepro m5100 or m6100 since these are cheap and a fairly decent performance boost over what I have. However, does anyone know if either of these would work?
