    I was wondering,
    I have a 5792 - How much would it cost for me to upgrade the Heatsink/Plate and stuff so it would be equal to the 5793 and so I could install the x9000 sometime?

    Thanks!

    just wondering, why do you think Clevo decided not to take advantage of the larger "extreme" plate and make the gpu vent/heatsink larger?

    I guess it was large enough already :p
    No serious, I don't think there was a point for Clevo in upgrading the GPU heatsink, so they didn't do it.
