D810 and successful vid card transplant
Hello all
For those of you who are like me and wanted a little more form your D810 (w/ the X600 video card), I was able to follow the advice from another on another forum and put an NVidia 6800 Go from an Isnpiron 9300 into my system. It rocks so much better. you will have to use your stock heatsink and a little AS5. Any questions, let me know.
With this working, there might be a possibility to upgrade to the 7800 Go from the I9400 or the 7800GTX from the M170. The only thing I can think of, like the others from the other forum, is that there might be power issues as those systems use a 130W powersupply, but a sign of a possibility is that the M170 uses the same chipset.
Cheers
Cybaun

Dell Precision M70 NVIDIA Go 7800GTX GPU Upgrade
Dan Zhang | Wednesday, January 18, 2006
It has to have the NVIDIA Go 7800GTX GPU's power reduced to control the heat and would think that boosting
the power from 90 to 130 watts would give no advantage, considering the cooling available.
The above could be done to a D810 as well, reason you cannot do this to a D800 is explained here:
"I assume he was joking, the 8600 uses an AGP 9600 on an 855 chipset."
"eh, just googled AGP to figure out what it meant, but yeah i would think it is.
I have the ATI 9600 pro turbo and i believe this laptop also came with like 2 other cards available"
(i8600 is a D800 clone, as a D810 is a M70 clone and is a step beyond "AGP")
