    Hello, I bought two months ago a clevo laptop P170 SM-A on ebay.
    This one did not have a graphics card inside.

    I would like to know if I can install a Nvidia Quadro K 5100M graphics card in mxm 3.0b format of HP Zbook / Dell precision / alienware R17?

    Should I change the driver * .inf file to use it on this laptop ?
    thanks

    M4000M from HP require one exactly vBIOS version (if I remember, one version from Dell card worked) to be usable anywhere else, even in other HP. There is possibity, that other HP cards will also requre special vBIOSes.
    I tried K5000M from Dell in P375SM and it worked with only modified .inf.
