zinsco Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Can I upgrade to a better GPU for this Alienware Area-51M 766 series laptop? Current GPU is a GeForce FX Go 5700. Alienware said no, but they also said I could not run Vista Aero because this system was designed for XP. Well, after getting a new driver from laptopvideo2go it works great. Any suggestions?

Guest mlee49 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good to know your wanting to upgrade. I would check the 5700 specs on this link: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...700.2150.0.html Doesn't show power consumption but you will need to check the power you get from your mobo and ensure it will power the new card. I am researching upgrading a 7900 gs to a 7900 gtx but th ps jumps from 20W to 45W. AW just wants you to buy a new set up, thier 'trade in/trade up' policy is so weak. Hope you find what card will be best to upgrade your system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
