I Will Swap My Gen2 6800 Ultra With An M170 7800GTX To See If The Gen2 Bios Will Work - Page 3

oh also regariding pci express... i guess it's not so much the speed that may be obsolete but the form factor that dell uses for future cards.. for example a number of dells had the R9000 card, but they were not all the same shape.. hopefully dell sticks with the xps gen 2/170 style for at least a couple of years so new cards will fit in the existing devices.. i'm skeptical that they will.. after all.. they don't want to sell cards, they want us to buy new laptops.. :P

Hi Absynth,

Have you since checked on the availability of the upgrade? I called a couple of weeks ago, and got someone who said, 'oh yeah, we'll send you the 7800 upgrade'. What arrived was a desktop card, of course.

Thanks for all the info, btw!

John
