    Help me please K-Tron or anybody, if I change MXM expansion graphics card towards a GeForce 8600M GT instead of the current GeForce Go 7600 in my Toshiba A100 laptop, it will not work, though the GeForce 8600M GT was fully tested and functional. I read some articles about whiltelist block, but I didn't find details around this. As far as I could find out, the motherboard BIOS contains some particular video BIOS's such as the Mobility X1600, Mobility X1400, Mobility X1300, GeForce Go 7300, GeForce Go 7600, etc. I would like to change one of the previous files with the BIOS for a GeForce 8600M GT. Is this procedure correctly?

    Toshiba A100 does not have MXM, but rather its own format
