Is this a tested, working card? Is it the 2GB model? I have a XPS1730 with the same card in a 256 configuration and want more horsepower. Tom

It improved the performance of my XPS M1730 by about 50 percent and has been running with out any problem for about a year. BUT...I think there is a newer card that is better matched for the the XPS 1730 system currently avilable.

yes , This is a great video card for the dell XPS M1730 laptop. I have search and came up with this card. I purchased the card and is working perfectly.if it wouldn't be for this video card , my laptop would be worth nothing. if you can not find this card there is an other website that makes them http://www.cpumedics.com/k650m.html

1GB effect as SLI does not double the usable memory (has to mirror between both GPUs data wise) and it is the 256bit. As for tested or working just ask the seller and if ripped file a claim.

Mine is working flawlessly and was sealed and pristine condition. It is 2GB and I upgraded mine from the same configuration. Installing it isn't too difficult either. Enjoy.

It is, however if you tried to upgrade to Windows 7 like I did, I can't get a driver to work properly and will always get an error. Maybe just my computer. ..?

Installed in a XPS M1730 that collected dust for 3 years. 2GB. Unsealed. Tested, not sure. Perfect condition and works fine. I wiped the laptop & installed Win 7 with the latest drivers. No issues.

You will lose memory bandwidth performance, as the card will only be running at x1 slot bandwidth speed. It will definitely work, but you'll have to find out how much performance reduction you'll get running the card in x1 mode vs x16.

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.

My year-old XPS X8500-4726 system board has 4 memory slots for DIMM cards capable of speed 1,600 ns. Mine as bought has 2x4GB + 2x2GB=12GB. Users guide says max supported = 32GB, which would be 4x8GB cards. I have never had a hint of memory shortage, but if you need more than 12GB, you can go to 32GB. Enjoy!

To answer your question, have no clue. But i had high hopes for this card. when they work they work fine. (not for gaming). but i have gotten about 15 percent of them work sort of... they had slow down, flickering, and video driver crashes. when i would replace them with the same card they worked. (bought a few of them for work at one time). when they work they are fine but keep the box for returns just in case.

Yes. 2gb works fine. I have upgraded to 2gb via Kingston Platinum 677mhz memory with no issue. I used this module from Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Kingston+Technology+-+Platinum+Series+2GB+PC2-5300+DDR2+Laptop+Memory/8669602.p?id=1196470791607&skuId;=8669602&st;=2gb%20laptop%20memory&cp=1&lp;=3

At I has hidden most of their legacy drivers especially for xp but I was able to find one from gateway of all places they used to add that card as an optional upgrade hope this helps

All I can say is it worked on my Asus MB running XP SP3. Also, although it has 6 connections, it is a 5 port card. If you use the inside port then one of the outside ports will not work. If you use all 5 outside ports then the inside port will not work. The card is USB 2.0 or 480 Mbit/s However, the effective throughput is about 35 MB/s or 280 Mbit/s. This is the case with most if not all 2.0 and is considered High Speed.

I'm running a 2.something card so I'm not 100% sure. If it doesn't say so in the specs I'd keep looking for one that specifies 3.0

I have this card on a 280w- core i5 machine - without any problems for about an year! Worth to mention: I use a pair of ssd's instead of hdd - there is significantly less power drainage from hard disks....

I'm not to sure. Maybe because it's a 2Gb card? I haven't had any problems with, and it performs well.

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

the card worked fine with my dell inspirion 660 until the card started to overheat getting to 95 C (203F) evga replaced it with EVGA GeForce GT 630 1GB DDR3 Dual DVI, mHDMI Graphics Cards 01G-P3-2631-KR this is with I can tell you about it.

heh Understood, and much more comforting to know you ran and it passed, three tests. >__>b I'm definitely interested, as this is a great deal for 16GB. Thanks for the quick response!

I made a very quick search and i was not able to find the xp driver, the card uses AC so i dont think XP is going to be able to support it.If you are also looking to replace your computer, check the HP Envy family

I have installed this card (NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti SC) on 300 Watt pre-built Dell with an i7 CPU, back from 2009 works fantastic. I have then moved it to another pre-built HP with a 220Watt power supply.This works perfectly in both units. So this little thing can work in a TON of computers!
