XPS M1710 GPU upgrade?

Hi,

I've got a M1710 with Nvidia 7950 GTX card. Is there any way to upgrade the GPU to 86xx or something similar ? (though probably the price is close to the price of the gold.. :), still any idea how much that would cost ?)

 

Thanks,

    Was looking into it but don't think it can be done..
    I know the 1730 with dual 8800gtx's (nice) is on a caddy and it just slots into motherboard. The layout is completely different as the caddy also has fans. It's the same for the 86/8700 as well.
    Anyway the 7950GTX is better than the 86/8700. But I'd love to have the option of dual 8800gtx's for the XPS1710.

    The 7950GTX is the end of the line for the M1710 - there is no further upgrade, nor will there be.

    The 7950GTX still has a lot of life left.  It is much faster than a single NVIDIA 86m/87m as they only have a 128bit bus.
