Alienware 7950GTX work in an XPS?

Thread Starter 
Hi, I was wondering if the 7950GTX from an Alienware system would work with a Dell XPS M1710. Is it specific for the company? I found one on ebay that says it is from Alienware and I just wanted to make sure it would work.

What do I need other than latest drivers to get it working? (Upgrading from 7900GS) Could someone please provide me with a link to get it working?

Thank You
-Cory

I am pretty sure it would not work

Dell cards are made for the specific laptops (Form factor)

Here is the link if anyone wanted to see it. Is it just a problem with actually fitting, or a problem with software etc.

both, you can't use alienware BIOS on dell cards and vice versa. also it won't fit.

they are completely different cards, they are both 7950 gtx's but thats where being similar stops. a dell card cannot ever be used in an alienware, and an alienware card cannot be used in a dell, period.

As everyone else states your gonna have a problem of just fitting the cards let alone the other barriers.
