hi all

i have read through the forums about upgraded the graphics card in the XL 201. i want to buy a graphics card without modifying the card itself i.e cutting chunks off as some of you had, frankly i don't trust myself to do that

i know the card need to be low profile, do you guys know if this card will run with the xl 201?

yes thanks Tony, the Asus cards are the only cards i found that fits the bill

"ASUS 1GB GeF 9400GT" "ASUS 512MB 9400GT"

judging by the size of the card it "looks" like it will just slot in. however i did notice that the current 7600 GTL uses GDDR3 and the asus both currently use DDR2. iv been told theres not much difference and i proberbly woulndt even notice the benefits.

this is the part im not so sure of?
