    Does anyone knows if the n70sv uses the same GPU configuration as the G71?

    Just wondering if i can upgrade the GPU from GT130m to GTX260m

    Slot shape is the least of your worries. You also have to consider BIOS compatibility and cooling.

    They share the same CPU so i assume the MB and BIOS would be the same, cooling is something i can work with.
    Anybody knows if they have the same slots?

    +1 for cooling and even your PSU. The GTX260m is a 65W card. Throw in the power requirements of a screen, cpu, and mobo and you have a really hot computer without enough power.
