    Hi all,
    I have just
    bought (great!) gaming notebook the Toshiba Satellite X205 S9359, it is
    really brilliant, good job! :) :) :D
    But I have some questions:
    1. Can I buy another NVidia 8700M GT and put into this laptop in SLI with
    the old one?
    2. When the newest cards (like NVidia 8800M GTX) will come, can I change
    the video card in my laptop? For example for NVidia Geforce 8800 GTX? Will
    it
    be a problem?
    I know that that 8700M GT is in PCI-e x16
    Help! :confused:

    1) You would have to see if your laptop has an SLI capable motherboard, which is possible, but fairly unlikely.

    2) Only if Toshiba offered the 8800M in that same notebook at a later date.
