Alienware M17x-R1, GPU upgrades?
Hello I bought my Alienware m17x in 2009 and I am considering upgrading its ram and video card. I have already upgraded the hard drives. I put in a 128GB SSD (for OS) and a 750GB HDD. I have been reading up on upgrading the RAM to its full capacity to 8GB and fully comfortable with this.
I would like to upgrade the video card, it currently has NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G and would like to put the latest video card/cards it can handle. If anyone has did this or knows more about my situation, thank you for your input.
My specs are.
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
intel core 2 quad cpu q9000@ 2.00Ghz, 6.0GB RAM, nvidia geforce 94000M G

These are the M17x-R1 validated GPUs =
96RJ4 Nvidia GTX260m
4WGVV Nvidia GTX260m SLI Secondary plus SLI cable
X648M Nvidia GTX280m
X203R Nvidia GTX280m SLI Secondary plus SLI cable

I doubt Dell Spare Parts will have them so do searches on the web for the Dell 5 digit part numbers.
