A Beast of a Card for a Beast of a Laptop

I've found one which is made in China, I wonder if it's fake or no? This card should make my wireless-laptops perform even better! Thank you for the information.

Sorry for shouting,

WHEN WILL THE UPGRADE TO 8800GTX BE MADE AVAILABLE IN THE UK, AND AT WHAT PRICE?

Tks, for listening, a response would be appreciated as well.

I'm new to the post, and I have read about 90% of them. Ending up with disgust! With the POSTER, NOT Dell. Where do most of you get off coming to the "realization" that Dell OWES you anything, other than the warranty that YOU paid for? Hello reading! Get this people, the world, nor does DELL evolve around you. Most of you whiners act like Ritalin addicts. This is my 5th Dell, and I am POSITIVE it won't be my last. I did "RESEARCH" before buying my first & last cpu. I made an informative purchase when I bought mine. I knew that Dell would have some issues getting this card out. Wait a little while guys.

Bust out that game that DREAMT of this hardware configuration and BLAZE away! I dual booted and BF 2'd with XP Pro, and guys it ROCKED!

I knew that most of the rumors were that excactly,... RUMORS! About 200.00 trade ins of old video cards. Cheap prices for the cards. Come on people, if you can afford to lay down 4k for a system, then you MUST be able to do so for video cards.

How many of you price/age whiners are 1st Gen iPhone owners I wonder! It's the price you pay, for paying the price. If you cannot afford it, get a better paying job. Or get another one delivering pizza.

Personally,... I cannot WAIT to call and order my new video card. Congrats James,... I know your having a great time.

,.................. my opinion anyway.

hei guys,

This is probably the dumbest question.

Is there any chance that i can just go to a Dell store in U.S. and buy the videocard and the upgrade installation service.

I dont live in U.S., but i am going to visit U.S. end of this year for holiday, so might as well stop by Dell store to get the upgrade.

I used to live in US and purchased this laptop when i was there, but i move out from US back to Japan not long after i bought the laptop. I kinda feel I got cut out from all Dell support now T_T and i cant find any dell store in Japan that sell and support this product.

@ Pilot44

@ Barry

Yeah I've asked that question back in July (more than three month ago) and I'm still awaiting the answer. Personally I'd prefer them telling us that "it would be available soon" or "we don't know" than being ignored for so long...

It is a new Dell part so there is still a one year warrenty on it and you can always pay for the tech to install it. But believe me I understand where you are coming from.

Yea, I know you can get it through ebay. But ofcourse if god forbids something happens to the video card noone will be there to respond for me. Not to mention if I put that in and something happens to my comp (tech wise) DELL will be in all the freedom of simply pointing to the alien video card and saying it was the video card's fault.. So, thats a vulnerability I do not want to be in, especially since its worth 1000 dollars and even more so after seeing how DELL has treated their costumers through this blog. I just cant trust DELL with that kind of stuff anymore.

You guys do know that you can buy the part on ebay from Sotalaptops? I'll bet he ships to other countries.
