    None AFAIK. Asus has pretty much given up on the C90 series.

    yeah. The only official card is the 8600M GT. You could try searching for a GeForce 9600M or 9650M GT or even better, an ATi Mobility 4650 or 4670, which are also MXM-II and see if those work.

    Any hope for the 230M or 240M?

    I was under the idea that the vid cards for the c90s wouldn't be proprietary. Sounds like I was duped.

    Extremely unlikely.

    There were simply too many issues with the C90 series and I'm guessing not enough customer base to justify making a proprietary GPU and BIOS update for the C90.
