    I have an old outdated Area 51 M15x and it has a ATI RADEON HD 3870 as my graphics card. It has around 256 MB of dedicated memory and I know that is horrible. What I was wondering is 2 things. One, would a ATI RADEON HD 4870 1GB PCI-EXPRESS DUAL DVI PC EDITION VIDEO CARD fit in my Area 51 M15x. Also if it did how much better would it be compared to mine?
