    If heatsink patterns line up with this card (GTX 280M) along with thermal paste/pad locations lining up with the original heatsink design, would this upgrade be possible on the W700. If so, would it be just sort of a "bolt on" and go upgrade, or would it require a modified BIOS to accept a GeForce? I know that the 3700M (which i know will certainly be a "bolt on" upgrade) is the GTX 280M downclocked Quadro equivalent, should i just go with that?
