    Hi everyone,

    I found a fx3700m graphic card from a notbook Clevo M570 TU.

    I'd like to know if i can install this card in Dell Precision M6400, to replace its' actual graphic card fx2700m.

    Thanks for your help!

    Most probably not. The Dell cards of the time were not MXM format IIRC, but some proprietary one; Clevo probably switched to some MXM format already by that time. Thus, the cards are (most probably) of different physical format and have different connectors and cooling holders.

    Yes as it's been stated, Dell used a proprietary version of MXM and made it fit into M6400 chassis. Also the internal LCD connector is directly connected to the GPU like in the Vostro 1500/Inspiron 1520 with the Nvidia GPU.

    Thanks you all for your answers :) I think I'll just update my T9800 to QX9300, I've got a good deal.
    Fx3700m and Firepro M7740 are still too expensives
