Today I will be upgrading my Alienware M18xR2 from 2012 to an RTX 3000 GPU and add NVMe and Wi-Fi 6E! Also will be a lesson on MXM.
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the BIOS was modified to add NVMe driver.
Many manufacture's claim they have an upgradable laptop but most do not have 9 years of upgradability experience such as the M18x R2.
Laptop specs:
Intel Core i7 3920XM
32GB DDR3L 2133Mhz (4x8GB)
Samsung 980 PRO 1TB NVMe (MXM Adapter)
NVIDIA RTX 3000 GPU (MXM)
18.4" 1920x1080 Display Overclocked to 80Hz
Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2
Blu-Ray ROM/DVD+-RW Drive
