Impossible - almost as the cards have a different form factor 9800 being bigger. So perhaps some grinding and moving components etc might work - if you want to take the risk to ruin the card / laptop most probably; and there is the chance of bios incompability, too. Not to speak of power problems furthermore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Armin Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 You just need to check if 9600m GT is MXM II compatible and you will be able to upgrade your 5520G... Once more search the nvidia official site for more details... Or try on wikipedia... As I read on other forums it is possible to put 9600M GT instead of 8600M GS or 8600M GT because they are both MXM II compatible... 9600 M GT cannot be replaced by 9800M GT because of the size of the card... 9600M GT is MXM II and 9800M GT is MXM III compatible... This means that the slot used for 9600M GT is incompatible with 9800M GT... Hope this will help... Chears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
