Hi guys,
I have a 2007 MBP with 8600GT card and games are starting to struggle on it. I was looking into buying a gaming laptop...then remembered I have an old Shuttle cube from around 2007.

It's a Shuttle SD39P2, currently with Nvidia 8800GT card which I suspect might be all it can manage. Does anyone else have this cube?

SD39P2 specs are:

Core 2 Quad processor, supports up to Core 2 Extreme
Chipset Intel 975X + ICH7R
Memory DDR2 4 slots (max 8GB)
Power – 400w Shuttle PSU
(1) PCI-E x16 slot
(1) PCI slot

Games aren't bad, but wondering if anyone could recommend a graphics card upgrade for me? Perhaps also advise on how I can ‘pimp’ it to get it as good as possible?

Thanks,
Stewart
 
Guys, I just saw an article about a guy who managed to fit an ATI 5870 into his Shuttle SD39P2 so have ordered one - cross fingers!
