    Can a GX610 take an HD 3650? Is there an MSI HD 3650 bios for DL?

    Prob going to get one of the $400 MSI GX610's this Thursday and I was wondering if the GX610 can take an MXM-II Hd 3650 and if so where would I get an MSI HD 3650 bios?

    The reason I want to do this is because we have an HD 3650 at the shop and I discussed it with my boss that I give him the HD 2600 and he'll let me have the HD 3650.

    Yes i believe it can as the 9600m GT is the highest among MXM Type 2 compatable cards, i say, give it a shot :) the only problem i see would be the heat sink but i am unsure on that.

    I believe it will work.

    The GX610's HD 2600 is integrated on the mainboard, not upgradeable.
