Hi, I'm new to the forum but it seems like such a big forum, somebody is bound to know the answer. I bought an inspiron 9400 from dell and its great for playing games etc cause it came with a 7800 go but I'd like to replace the video card now with a quadro 2500M like seen in the M90 workstation series laptop. Everything in the laptop is basically the same and I don't want to fork out thousands of dollars just because I want a different video card.

Does anybody know how I would go about doing this?
I am already aware that it would probably mean the PSU would need to be upgraded with a more powerful solution like when people were upgrading to the 7900gtx.

Also does anybody know where I can get these parts?

Thankyou so much to anybody who can reply :o
 
Do you play games? because the 7800 will kick the quadro's little arse in games. And there is no way to replace without bying a new laptop... the quadro also costs a lot by itself anyways. The 7800GO is also like the second fastest card you can get for a lappy, second only to the 7900.
 
you wont be able to upgrade as far as i know. There's only a very few exceptions to that rule that i know of and even then you're limited to graphics cards in the same family of chips.
Also, you cant upgrade the PSU on a notebook so you're already out of luck.
Get into contact with the manufacturer by all means but you'll probably get a response that offers you to buy a notebook with a quadro card in there.
 
I want to use 3d programs not games, oh yer and I did find a forum before that were upgrading to 7900gtx and they did put in a different psu, i dunno how they did it :rolleyes:
