    I currently have the Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513 notebook with an nvidia 6600 video card. What nVidia Geforce card can I upgrade to if any? I'm looking at the 8800 series just so that I don't have to upgrade for a while hopefully? I would appreciate any helpful advice from anybody!
    Thanks yo, and happy holidays!

    Hate to shatter your dream. But no, you cant upgrade it. In general, laptop graphic card is not upgradable. It is not like desktop when you can freely exchange graphic cards. And, currently no vendor is selling mobile cards. So the answer is no.
