Where can I buy new laptop Graphics Cards?

[Hayden-G]

I have an Alienware M7700 and I was wondering where I can buy a new graphics card for it. Since all other laptop manufacturers don't allow you to upgrade your graphics I can't find anything on newegg. Nvidia only gives me links to where I can buy a laptop with a new graphics card. Any ideas where I can just get the graphics card? I'm looking for a 8600, or uper tier 7 series, no 8800.

Good luck. You're probably SOL on that one. Call Alienware though.

yeah, ^wut he said. usually not a great deal you can do about onboard lappy graphics.

just the same, if you find one that is compatible, you could keep an eye on ebay for a gpu by itself or take a chance on salvaging one from a dead lappy:
