Replacing V6J's 7400 with an X1600

I've heard the ASUS Lamborghini is the V6J with an X1600 instead of a 7400 and a yellow cover. Assuming this is true, would it be possible to replace a V6J's 7400 with an X1600?

 

No... it would be possible to swap the motherboard... but it's not a seperate card.... if it were, it wouldn't be able to be that thin.

Here's the deal... they haven't confirmed the Lambo VX specs yet.... but I can tell you right now, Asus wanted to put 256mb X1600 in ALL of the high-end ensembles this year, but it didn't go in the V6j because "the x1600 ran too hot and they couldn't cool the chassis".... With that said, they won't put one in the Lambo model, unless they push production back till they can some how find a way to cool it..

.... but as it stands right now.. Asus has been working with the x1600 for 6-7 months now... and if they couldn't figure a way to put it in the V6j by now.... I don't think another month is going to change things..... but, the Lambo models are going to be "all out" in terms of specs.... so it's possible they put an x1600 in it and say a 7200rpm hard drive and the top end cpu.... but they're going to have to put a warning on it - bad battery and lots of heat... they can get away with it on a limited edition model like the Lambo VX will be.... but in terms of the more mainstream - highend market.... they want good graphics, with good battery life and low heat.....

 

Well its been abit over two weeks but yet again the old can I upgrade my gpu question is back!!!
I guess peoples desire for this feature is so strong that common sense and reality go out the door...thus although the whole forum is riddled with this question and the answer is always NO. people still have to ask.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, given the previous posts. Some custom-order notebook sites (i.e. cyberpower) advertise their laptops with "upgradeable" video cards - is this somewhat false advertising, and if not, how much utility is actually gained by having an "upgradeable" notebook? This is more a curiosity point than anything else.

Thanks for feeding my curiosity

 

They base their laptops on Clevo units, some Quanta, etc.

Basically, they have MXM/AXIOM(for nVidia and ATI repectively) compatiable slots for a modular GPU. Only about 3-5% of all laptops have it.

 

Thats become some of the models, such as the " Gamer Xplorer X64-Ultra Notebook" (which is really a Clevo D400) is a huge desktop replacement model. Like most of it's kind, the GPU is upgradeable and has seen several different GPUs in them simply because these are huge 17" machines with alot of room to spare. Clevo tends to make such laptops and it gets rebranded by Cyberpower, Alienware, etc.

However the V6 is a very thin laptop, its no where as big and heavy as the Clevo.

 

Thanks for the explanations. The lighter notebook is much more appealing than a brick with interchangeable parts.
