vanguard Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I called alienware and they told me my motherboard is a uniwell p531a. and that it is a m5550. I asked why the difference in number from my bios and said was upgraded to m5550. Can a ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 256 MB work in my supposed m5550 laptop?

vanguard Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi, can anyone please let me know how they upgrade to this card or an 1900. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leever Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi, I got a Uniwil p531n (the n means it had an nvidia 7600Go the a at the end means it was shipped with an ati video card) And I successfully upgraded to a X1800!!! (although it has some veeery weird pixel bugs (moving red/green/blue pixels on the screen, could be do to a memory failure of the card)) But one thing though: the notebook gets EXTREMELY hot! and crashes afert extensive 3D games playing..... the heating pipeline was never supposed to cool down an core2duo 2.0GHz and an X1800!!!!!
