Recently the graphics card in my z81sp would not show up in the device list (stuck with vgasave) after troubleshooting and reformat without luck I believe the card itself may be bad. I asked years ago about upgrade options, anyone around that still knows what they were or where I might get them? Another 6800 would be fine, but if the 7600 fit (8600? *drool*) that would be great. checked out mxm-upgrade.com store but it seems they only have much newer expensive cards. At this point I just want it back to similiar functionality for a cheap as possible, have more concerns for running cooler rather than faster the 6800 ran the games I wanted it to perfectly. I have a budget of around $50-$70 to bring this thing back. If anyone has one for sale or might have thoughts about some I found I ebay that would help a lot.

http://www.ebay.com/...=item3a5c51ce41 though pricy this seems like it may fit too but no clue if it would actaully be compatible.

http://www.ebay.com/...=item4167069081 this type 2 has the right price and without the metal shield looks like it would fit but HP seems to usually have proprietary vbios

Looks like I can get an alienware a51 m7900 locally for $50 with screen/case damage, shows it has sli Go7900 MXM type III, pending one of the cards is good it should be compatible correct?

I remember Go7900 GS as an option to replace Go6800 in FS 3438/4438 / AW 5700. But it was a hotgoing bugger giving a lot of problems so f. ex . MXM-upgrade stopped to offer them. Can't say for the GTX but the price isn't high to try.
