    Anyone know where I could purchase an ATI 6970 series graphics card for the 8150? I'm having a hard time finding a reputable dealer for a 6970 that doesn't want an arm and a leg for the card.

    Anyone know of a reputable dealer?

    dell sells some. as far as clevo cards, pretty much any of the resellers. I know for sure Fortnax (canadian reseller), and mythlogic. there was a european reseller (username: PC-Konsulten.se) that had them too. I'm sure you could get some through the other resellers now though

    Dell may sell the card but I know that the heatsink will be another ball of wax to deal with.

    Has Xoticpc or any other US based company ever sold just cards? You would think that there would be a market out there for companies to sell the upgraded cards + hardware to go with their products (seems like a win / win)
