    I wonder if the upcoming ATI RADEON's 6000 SERIES / GTX 500 Series is MXM3.0 Slot ?

    And , if its MXM3.0 that means I could upgrade my graphics card for the M15X , right ?

    No one knows. There's a huge HD6000 rumor thread. Even if the new cards fit the slot, you still need BIOS and heatsink support.

    Don't know about the slot type, but even if it is 3.0, you'll most likely need a bios update for either of the cards to work

    Well I know the 5935G's bios is unlocked since it ran a GTS250M in it without complaining too much.

    We know that the GT425 is out there in MXM-A.

    Honestly, MXM shouldn't even be touted as "upgradeable" as there are several standards and so many other factors in why a card change wouldn't work.
