    Well seeing as how my 9262 is now going to be my main system until AMD decides to launch its p2 in Q3. I have decided it is time for an upgrade in the graphics department. I bought my lappy from XOTIC PC back in Sept; it has a Q9650 and a single 9800M GTX. I wish to add another 9800m GTX for future proofing and peace of mind. I have two questions though, that I cannot seem to find the answer for anywhere and was wondering if someone could help me out.

    First of all are there any guides on installing a new vid card on a lappy or is it pretty straightforward?

    Second how much money am I looking at here and more importantly does XOTIC PC even sell 9800M GTX's or would I have to get it from somewhere else?

    Thnx for the help!

    If you guys are wondering why I need the extra juice for future proofing. I'm using my 24inch monitor and the fps have dropped on some games ^_- with drivers 185.00, but this is just one of the front line reasons. Again the main one being future proofing. Unless NVIDIA is about to release a new M card compatible with the 9262.

    you just need to do one thing.

    contact XoticPC and they will handle it all for you:
    - give you pricing for 9800M GTX
    - give you detailed instructions to install it (which is very simple)
