    Hello Guys.
    I'm wondering if it is possible to upgrade the GPU in this Laptop? If i am configuring a new laptop (M4600) at dell.com, i can choose the Quadro 1000M GPU, instead of the useless Firepro 5950 i currently have installed.

    Greetings

    Useless because you need CUDA? Cuz the FIrePro is more powerfull than the 1000m and is about as good as the 2000m. I think it would be possible to upgrade the GPU to the FirePro 4000 or Quadro K2000m.

    Where can I buy the firepro M4000? I tried to purchase it directly to Dell but they won't sell me the part because it is not compatible with M4600. :mad:

    You can order it from HP, just need to check the part number for 8770w/8570w
