Greetings,

Kindly confirm if this (geforce 310M):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toshiba-VGA-Board-P-N-H000023320-NVIDIA-GeForce-310M-N11M-GE1-DDR3-512MB-/180829294890?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item2a1a44112a

would fit on this (Dell Vostro 3300):

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2364802,00.asp

The article states that the 3300 comes with i5 and the geforce 310M, but my vostro 3300 came with i3 and with integrated graphics card because I chose the lower end one.

These are my specs:

Core i3 M 350 2.25ghz
2gb RAM
Windows 7
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD

Please confirm if that video card is going to fit in my laptop.

This is another more expensive option:

Are these two compatible with my lappy?

Gonna be tough to say until you open the notebook apart and see if there is any available slot for the card in question

cheers ...

As Stated previously, cant tell for sure until you open up the laptop. This may help though. Go to Dell.com/support Add your service tag looking for  software updates... You should then be able to find a service manual, the service manual with complete instructions to completely disassemble the laptop. There may be a riser required for the video card, also look for a video cooler Assembly, be assured it will connect direct to the video card. Go Slow and take your time...
