    Will a dv6 3140tx take a GTX 260m from an Alienware m15x?

    Just a quick question. I've got the m15x and will be upgrading the card in it, just wondering if I can give my old card (Nvidia GTX 260m) to my little brother and put it in his HP dv6! :confused:

    No. The GPU in the dv6 is soldered on to the motherboard. It cannot be removed or swapped.
