    Hi all, what notebooks out there use MXM form factor video cards. Namely the Nvidia 6800 go?

    There was a thread about MXM ready notebooks, try search. My computer based on Uniwill 259ea1 can support MXM II type, so 6800 256MB should come into the consideration.

    Cheers,

    I did a search on MXM and nothing came up. Very odd :(

    So, nvidia lists on their site that the 7 Go series is MXM compatible. Does this mean I may be able to upgrade my 128MB GeForce Go 7400 on my soon-to-be-here HP dv5000t? Or will size and 64-bit-ness limit me?

    Depends, better chips usually require more power which require better cooling aswell so there might be other restrictions.
