Ok, I have a few questions. Please let me know if these scenarios are possible?

Is it possible to....

Take a bluetooth minicard from a Studio 1537 (Dell 370 Bluetooth Module v2.1) and install it in a XPS m1530?

Take an intel wifi minicard Wifi Link 5100 form a Studio 1537 and install it in a XPS m1530?

Take the NVIDIA 8600 GT GDDR3 video card from a XPS m1530 and put it in a Studio 1537, then put the ATI card in the XPS?

Not sure about the Blue Tooth, but I believe the Mini card will work, just need the driver for it.

Video card DEFINITELY NOT, the video card on both systems is soldered onto the motherboard. Wi-Fi Minicard won't transfer over if it's the newer half-length models. Bluetooth will though since I've changed out a couple 370's with a botched firmware update.
