Im running a 64mb Geforce 4200 go, wondering how easy it is to upgrade and what the best way to go about it. Would Dell officially help or am I alone, the 4200 just isnt cutting the mustard anymore.
Dell doesn't support video upgrades on notebooks other than the Insprion XPS models, so you are on your own.
There are two upgrade cards - an nVidia 5650 and an ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility Pro Turbo. Both are proprietary to the D-chaseis 8500 (actually shipped with the 8600 and D800, not the 8500).
They will work with the 8500 if you modify them for cooling (see www.bay-wolf.com for what's involved).
The cards must come from Dell or a Dell parts reseller, as they are not standard, off the shelf parts.
