I don't think the m290x was ever offered in this model - bear in mind that the BIOS has to support whatever card you install, so it must be one that Dell shipped for this model.  Even if the card physically fits the system, it won't work unless the BIOS recognizes it.

Thanks but the 460m is still very slow i guess i will just try and figure out how to get a 6990m in there.
