Hello, I have the [url=http://gizmodo.com/5074969/alienware-m17-powered-by-ati-crossfirex-dual-graphics-cards-still-unmovable]M17[/url] released in the end of 2008 and unfortunately I bought it only with 512 MB graphics card which is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 M88 XT.
Now with the demand of newer games I want to upgrade to crossfire 2x512 MB as it was offered back then.
I have talked to Aw/Dell support they told me they do not support these older laptops anymore and don't have the parts.
I talked to AMD support and they told me
[quote]In the HD series of graphics chips there was not master or slave version, this was something in the X1xxx and earlier cards. With your HD series the cards are the same, it is the slot on the system that decides which is master and which is slave.[/quote]
What I need is:
1) A second HD3870 (Idk when it sometime says S or M for Slave/master on pictures of that card after the answer of AMD support)
2) A crossfire cable for it
3) A VC fan for cooling down for this card I suppose...
is this offered anywhere in Europe? Either way if someone knows what to do and how
But I need to get in in Europe, this Ztronics only operates in the US and not a single response from them... where can I get those and in EU?
