    Greetings people, recently i have got my MSI GX700E
    t7500
    8600mgt
    2gb ram

    Is there ANY way to change the 8600mgt?
    I mean if i spend 1000 bucks or anything, because i would really need to change it to a 8800m gtx.. this 8600m gt sucks hard after playing 8800gts on my desktop..

    Thanks for the replies

    ^While true for most notebooks, the some exotics have replaceable cards.

    However, I believe it's MXM II, which means that the 8600m GT is as high as it gets.

    Happens to the best of us. I'm getting a 8800GTX notebook soon. But I can only imagine being in your seat a couple of years from now.

    Did you consult NBR before buying that laptop? ;)

    That's why NBR exists. So we can choose our laptops wisely before buying them. We can't always be fooled by "marketing ploys" [such as the "gaming laptop" moniker].

    Also, that's quite an expensive laptop, considering a few months ago you could get a laptop with those specs for around $1000 [of course cheaper now, too], and now, you can even get an 8800M GTS laptop for $1350.

    Well, you could just sell your current laptop and buy a new one. :)

    That's still good enough. If you HAVE to play modern games, then that will have to suffice. Sell it while people are ready to pay well for it. Then buy a new laptop. The gateway that scythie should also be fine, with a 8800M.
