Hello , a couple of days ago I ordered "ATI Radeon 9200" for my laptop to play The Sims 2 better...when I got it everything was great but when I looked in steps I seen nothing for the setup for laptops/notebooks...can anyone tell me how to install this card for my laptop? I already have "Mobility Radeon 7500" and it really sucks... ;(

Thank you
Katie-

Hi Katie

Try this (for the big chippie thing LOL):
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins5100/en/sm/palmrest.htm#1084976

Im not too sure on the warranty side of things- you might find the warranty is no longer... dont know if that matters to you or not!

Also, the 9200 should fit since there is a 5150 that ships with this GPU. So I'm guessing that the 5150 has the same housing for the video that the 5100 does .... at least I hope so!

good luck 8)
