    I'm not quite sure, but the card itself looks identicle to the 105 cards (single pipe, side mounted fan/heatsink). The card that is in it is a 7900gs 256mb, and is starting to have performance issues. I'm not positive that a gtx or a 512 would work in it, but if it can fit, i'd be willing to troubleshoot just to see if i could do it :)

    I would think that the P100 and P105 use the same graphics cards. The P105 was a refresh of the P100. You should be able to upgrade to a 7900GTX/7950GTX. However you will need to buy a Toshiba graphics card. The P100/105 does not use MXM based cards, and does not use the same type of cards like the Dell XPS1710 has. Toshiba uses a proprietary graphics design for their systems, so an upgrade will only happen with Toshiba parts.

    Your best bet is to check ebay for these cards

    are these cards purchaseable from Toshiba? i've scanned their site and it doesnt appear that cards are available as a simple 'upgrade'. Also, are there any other sites i should be checking aside from ebay? thanks for the insight on the cards btw :)
