Gaming laptops: Alienware Area51m 7700 video module
Alienware Area51m 7700 video module
by adam2565 - 6/24/09 9:17 AMfive years ago i bought this alienware computer with the main purpose of being able to upgrade a lot of the components in it later in the future. i am now trying to run sims 3 and it works fine for about 20min before my computer tells me my video card stooped functioning properly. it is using a ati mobility radeon 256mb video card. which to my belief meets the minimum system req for the sims 3. but in any case i was looking to possibly upgrade the video card but i cant find any. but I am curious to if there is any at all, and what is the best possible one that i can get
Ask it's current maker.

Dell bought them up so check there.
A search like http://www.google.com/search?q=Alienware+Area51m+7700+video+module finds some claiming to have the cards however I'd avoid the 8600.

In either case, you definitely should be able to get some kind of upgrade.
