    The Asus G-series doesn't use MXM.

    Thanks Lithus.

    Do you know of any compatible boards. I'm looking for a new one but can't seem to find it any where on the world. Ebay says they have it but clicking on the link just sends you to an out-sourcing store that won't give you a direct link to buy it. Getting very frustrated.

    You mean as in motherboards that have an MXM slot?
    I wouldn't go in that direction myself because of the costs.
    It would likely cost as much as a new laptop in that case even if you manage to find a mobo that fits.

    I mean as in a new mother board that is the same as my burnt one or another one that is compatible with the hardware currently on the burnt mobo.
    This is the Mobo I currently have that is ruined:
    A7S Mainboard "Rev 2.1 p/n : 08G27AS0021W"

    I did find it on ebay but man.. things just are not working out... I hope to get a responce soon from the store I did manage to find in Austria. FReaking AUSTRIA half way around the darn world.

    A motherboard might set u back $400++... ur better off saving ur money and getting a new laptop... Trust me ...any laptop now will be as powerful as ur a dream one... Even an ASUS G51 which costs 1K USD would be able to max most or not all games except for GTA or Crysis...
