You can buy laptop gpus...?
I guess you could hunt one down on eBay, I don't know any vendor that makes and sells Laptop GPUs to non-OEMs. You will probably have to find a specific card that matches your laptop design specifically, as I know many laptops have fansinks or other things that get in the way. Look specifically for a 9800GT that seems like it'll fit. If not, your laptop may just need to be replaced. Lappy's are always getting replaced over and over again, and they're not as modular as desktops, therefore sometimes you're just stuck. Dunno if DS will even still have stock parts for the 9262.

IF you happen to find laptop gpus let me know, I have not updated mine cause I couldn't find a proper site to get it from.
I called DS like 2 years ago and asked them for a laptop gpu and they said they don't sell those alone. |
