    doubtful.

    ASUS failed to produce 8800Ms for this notebook when they launched it... because of the limitations of the MXM Type II slot... which has a 25w TDP.

    You might be able to get a 9600M GT (since it has a 23w TDP) if it becomes available in MXM-II, but I would not be surprised it it does not happen.... or might not be correctly supported if ASUS does not give you a BIOS update.

    the current Clevo gaming notebooks are using MXM Type IV.... which is why they can have the highest end videocards.

    the Sager 8660 (re-branded Clevo M860TU) is the latest 15.4" notebook with MXM-IV
