Do you think this would be good idea?
Hello,
I have had it with this ATI card. I can not return this laptop.(HP elitebook 8530w MobileWorkstation)
BUT, I did find a deal on the nVidia graphics card replacement part ($366). It is just like a PCI card with no fan or heat sink or any complicated stuff like that. This laptop just dosn't have a fan or heat sink for the GPU.
I have two concerns though.
1. Do you think it will be super crazy hard to open up the laptop and replace it?
2. The part's condition is "Tested Working"... It is from "FTGInternational". Do you think I'll get screwed and get a bunk part?
