    I am wanting to upgrade my Sager NP9262 with a third hard drive and possibly more memory and a better/additional gpu. (I have a quadro 1600m, not sure if I could get another and run it SLI?)

    From what I could find so far, it looks like it may not be worth the price to get a video card (hoping that might have changed, don't see why it would be so expensive to get one)

    Is it just me or is it supposed to be hard for consumers to find these parts? It would be nice if Sager kept some info on their site about how to upgrade your laptop.

    Thanks for any help with this. Search has not been my friend on this one.

    Any hard drive for laptop (2.5 inch) with 9 mm thickness will work.
    The only worth video card to get is the 280m gtx, but check carefully as you have to get the right mxm. Last time I checked the a 8800m gtx new was about 800 $.
    The RAM is just a standard laptop memory.

    Except from the video card, processor and motherboard all the parts are standard laptop parts.

    Thanks for your reply :) Do you know if it is possible to put the quadro 1600m in sli? (and if you can even find it for a decent price anywhere?)

    I couldn't find anything about dual 1600m's so I'm guessing it doesn't work.

    I have no idea, but it is possible to have two different or identical cards and not connect them in sli if the TDP budget allows it. It depends what you want to do with it

    quadros will not do sli, they don't have the connectors for it.

    Thanks for the help guys! guess I'm stuck with my graphics then (not lookin for gaming, just improvement on CAD and such)

    Too bad they don't make external GPU cases so you could attach a desktop card to a laptop :)
