Hello, i have an ALIENWARE M17X R1 AREA 51. I am trying to get another graphics card for it and i am unable to figure out what i need. The computer has another slot for one so i can imagine that it can hold a graphics card. Please help me. if you have an answer ** personal info deleted **

Is the slot a PCI slot running at x16? If so you might be able to purchase another of the same types of cards in your computer at the moment and SLI them if they are nvidia or crossfire them if they are AMD. If you are not interested in this, you need to specify what sort of price range you are looking at and what sort of games you want to run and at what settings.

You cannot buy any old card and put it in the slot as two different graphics cards will not work with each other. You could, however use two different cards on two different monitors.

Hope I helped.

.... Laptop upgrades are very difficult, especially when the parts you need are old. BTW, if you're trying to sli a 9800m GTX, it ain't worth it probably. They sell for nearly $300 still, and a $300 build can get you better fps if you build an entire computer. (wel, no os...) Anyways, not worth it.
