    So I have one of each of these Sager units with an Nvidia 670 in it. Though, I do have some applications that would work better with a Quadro card in it (Renders, etc.)

    Does anyone have experience installing the 3000M card and using them? Work out of the box? Sager won't really help me. I see places like Waresphere selling the 3000M and 4000M. The 5010 is just too expensive!!

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Works great, we offer them as an option on our systems. Done lots of P151EM's with 3000m's in them.

    Obviously I didn't get the system through you guys...so it looks like the only place to really get these is overseas shops or ebay right?

    Thanks for the confirmation!

    The cards? Yea the quadros are universal, you can stick a HP or a Dell 3000m in there and it'll work just fine. Use a 580m/675m heatsink for it. 670m heatsinks will work but you have to reposition all the thermal pads to be in the right spot.

    No VBIOS issues with external DVI/HDMI output, standby and fan control?

    Does nView for Quadros work on the P150EMs? I tried searching for using nView on Optimus laptops, the most I got was that they had to disable Optimus to use nView. But disabling Optimus cannot be done on the P150EM, so can nView run on them?
