    Does anybody know where I can get a second 8800GTX card so that I can run my 9262 in SLI? I can't seem to easily find one. If they aren't available is it possible to upgrade to a newer model myself or would I have to send it in? Thanks for the help.

    You can contact almost any Clevo vendor to order another videocard module, just specify that you want the SLI kit... so that they will include the SLI bridge cable.

    Start with you Clevo vendor first, then contact (email/phone):
    - www.sagernotebook.com
    - www.eurocom.com
    - www.rjtech.com

    .... etc... in Clevo Guide

    Avadirect has them but no SLI kit. I tried the others links provided but they dont have them any. This stinks. Anyway is it possible to upgrade to a new graphics card? If so is it something that I would be able to do on my own or would I have to get it shipped off somewhere?
