    Hi all, I'm new here to these forums, so i said id give it a shot as i can't seem to find any graphics cards on the net. If someone in Ireland (preferably) (or elsewhere) has a compatible card for my m15x for sale could you please get in contact with me on these forums, as i am in need of one big time ,i have tried so many sites and can't seem to find any.
    also, if anyone knows the complete list iof compatible cards and could list them here for me , i would appreciate it :)
    Thanks in advance, Jmcxer.



    edit: i currently have a burnt out nvidia 8800m gtx , and have baked it successfully, 5-6 times and it lasted for just about a year (baked) but now its completely dead. Im not sure of the best upgrade. :mad:

    You can use a lot of the older cards. There should be quite a few threads on here with a lot of suggestions though. I have a few of them myself.

    thanks for your reply, could I maybe purchase 1 from you,? If you could recommend which 1 u have that would suit my m15x best, regarding heat and performance as the rest of the laptop is in pristine condition. Is there a fan that attaches onto a gpu that fits? I'm not sure myself lol. kind regards
