Hello Mr. Duck :) The 1559 is a Type I notebook, which is supposed to handle Type II as well, but I`ve never seen the cavity or card. So I don`t know if the card would pass. Compatibility hasn`t been confirmed either. If you are serious about this, I think you should open her up and measure her up first. Check your power supply, too to see how many watts she can deliver. Keep in mind you`re voiding your warranty, though... Ice-Tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice-Tea My warranty is already voided, I'll take some pics of the cavity and check the PSU. Thanks :P edit : here's the pics : I cannot find information about the PSU, all I know is that my AC adaptator can hold 65W... but, the "7" geforce did not consume less current than the "6" series ? edit 2 : I made a "simualtion" (with... ms paint :) ) to compare the 2 cards, and It seems that the 7900gs will fit :P Edited December 15, 2006 by StupidDuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice-Tea Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 You must check room available. Example: Can the card pass beneath the fan assemble to the left? How much room is there to the memory banks> Or can the card pass over it? Basically how much room is there before the bigger card hits anything. You`ll have to check this for each side. The fan shown, is this the only one in the system? If so, I don`t think it will handle the 7900GS. Furthermore, the power supply won`t be able to handle it for sure. The 7900GS consumes about the same as a 6800, at leat 10W more than the 6600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 fans, the one on the pics is the GPU fan, the CPU fan is hidden. I've just finished a call of duty 2 session, and the gpu was not very hot when I opened the laptop. edit : no, there is not enough space on the left side for the 7900gs...

I was afraid you might say that. I`m trying to mod an Asus card to turn it into a Type II compatible card. Not sure if it`l work, but if it does that might be something for you...

Team O.S. Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 New to the site.... Will this work in my AW 51m 5700? If not, any idea where I can get one that will work? My card is shot and I'm mechanically inclined enough to mod a heatsink if necessary.
