MS-1651 info please

i bought a MS-1651 off of fourm member Espada, and it wasnt really what i wanted and my wife about kicked my nuts off, so i sold it to a fourm member. since hes had its been BSOD issues, ( although i ran it to death while i had and it never gave me issues.) i got that under control, but today it seems the GPU may have crapped out. so can any one tell me what cards i can use to replace the 9600gt thats in it besides the 9600gt which seems to be hard to find. i dont want to have to modify anything ie the heat sink, so which cards will work? i have a 3650 but i think its MXMII not III im assuming however this is MXM III type 2.1 int he MS-1651( it uses DDR2 if that helps identify it) i dont want to leave the guy with a busted machine so i need to get this fixed but im not sure of the parts i can use. any if would be apprecaited

 

What MXM is it ?

There's some 9600m on eBay .

 

i think its III but im not sure espada was able to use a 4850 in ti so i assume its III, was hoping someone would jump on here and know for sure though

 

It's 2.1 type 3 then .. The best card is the 4850 but getting one won't be that easy.

 

well i dont need the best one i just need to know what i can use, will they accept any kind of mxm III type 2.1 card?

 

MXM 2.1 type III....

 

The slot is MXM 2.1 Type III. This means that is compatible to all cards of this type and also backward with MXM 2.1 Type II (GF 9600M is Type II).
Here I did a quick search for you:
ATI 3450
ATI 3470
ATI 3650
ATI 4570
ATI 4670
nVidia GF 8600M GT
nVidia GF 9650M GT
You just have to choose one

 

With type II cards, your heatsink should be fine. But with type III cards you will need the GT627 heatsink.

 

thanks guys!
