    Hello,
    I took a look at a few threads asking about upgradeability of the Toshiba Satellite X200-BB1's GPU, and apparently it can be replaced by another Toshiba graphics card. So could I install the Satellite X305's 9700M GTS into a X200-BB1, replacing it's 8700M GT?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    This may help, these are photos of the X200 and the X305's GPUs.

    You might want to ask in the Toshiba section. First off though, those heatsinks aren't the same.
