    My girl's company has a dell contract and she was approved for new notebook...any dell.. price no option.


    So they have x7900 2.8g 4mb and x9000 2.6g 6mb....i assume i want x9000?

    Dell's graphics, while modular, are a custom Dell design slot, so it will only fit in Dell notebooks. Not sure about the LCD, but you have to check if the cables and the inverter is the same type.

    Do they have an IT group at her company? Because if so you could very well get her fired doing something like that if they notice ;).

    She has to keep the dell...The only thing i can do is swap parts between the two. So far it looks like x9000 and i'll put my t9300 in her dell and maybe the lcd.
