    Posting here because I guess this is an aftermarket upgrade.
    My qosmio's X500 video card died and I can't get a replacement (250m/360m). Just 460m's (bad price and likely too much wattage required from my 120w adapter).

    A Satellite P505's Radeon 4650 (basically a clone laptop) for $100+ and although seemingly identical in layout, and assurance by an eBay seller, I have nothing else to know if it is compatible.
    Getting pretty desperate here.

    Adding: If anyone in the states or asia etc. sees one available, let me know!!

    EDIT:: If anyone is curious, the ATI 4650's from P500/505's worked.
