    Hi. My 7970M died, and my computer's been giving me all kinds of grief. Since I can't just remove the dedicated card and run off the integrated GPU it looks like I have to replace the dedicated card. Is it possible to get the Alienware 660M to run with my computer? Specifically this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Alienware-M1...959026?hash=item1ea1e1f532:g:cb8AAOSw3xJVbxZq

    Which is MXM 3.0b. I think I have heard of people getting the Alienware 680M running on their Clevos, but I'm not sure about this one. If it would work would I have to flash anything?

    Thanks!

    Once i installed a gtx765m from alienware 17 to clevo p175sm. it work perfectly, i didnt flash anything or bios mod. Just take care about heatsink, i think ati heatsink are less thick and might be a bit different with vram. Also, the xbracket from dell is not same size with clevo, you will lose pressure so might have higher temp.
