There is a small tab on the 9400/M1710 screens that is not on the XPS2/9300 screens. It would require a small case mod in order to fit physically onto the laptop. Beyond that, it should work but you may have to put your original lcd inverter on the new lcd.

i do not think the BIOS will support a GPU swap from a E1705 in a Gen 2.

I think you can put a 7800GTX from a Gen 2 into a E1705

The only cards you can use are the ATI X300, X600, Nvidia 6800 go, 6800 go ultra, 7800 go GTX. There are a few quadro equivalents for the nvidia cards. Anyway, you can't use a 79xx or any 8 series or higher GPU.
