I found this earlier. The previous model had the 7900GS, how about this one? I really have my heart set on this, but only if it's the 7900GTX.

Appreciate any help, and please don't tell me to call the agent in Kuwait. All I got off them was that is was NVidia "512", when I told the salesman to check if it was a gs or a gtx he said that he can't open the laptop. Pathetic!
-
is there even a 512mb version of the 7900gs? i don't think there is but i'm probably wrong. that should be a dead give away it's a gtx though.
-
yes the p100 indeed have a 512mb 7900GS or GTX. in australia we only get the 7900GS version; but in the US u can get 7900GS or GTX, both with 512mb (lucky bas*****)
.
be aware that; there is some cases where the computer tells u that u only got 256mb of video memmory, but don't worry; all toshiba p100 w/ 7900 get 512mb of vRAM, i think that there is some software reporting bug with directX or something.
now, there is a couple of way to check for video card version;
one of them is by using "device manager"
click "start" -> right click "my computer" -> properties -> click on "hardware" tab -> device manager -> then look for "display adapter" -> click the "+" sign next to it and u should see the version of video card.
my recommended ways are.
start -> run -> type in "dxdiag" to open DirectX Diagnostic Tool -> then click on the "display" tab, and it should tells u the version of the video card.
good luck! -
Thanks anyway. -
i'm sorry, i don't know if that is possible; how much does it cost?
-
Turned out to be a GS, passed by today and checked it out
Still gonna buy it though. -

760 Kuwaiti Dinars, around 2500$. I'm getting ripped off, I know. But this is my only option, you see I can't buy online. It'll probably take a month to get through customs. Having second thoughts anyway, I don't 17" is for me. I might get myself a m1210.

Yeah a little expensive, it only has 1GB DDR2 and @ 533Mhz not 667Mhz.. but oh well.. it has a good screen... Well it's still gonna kick ass.. the only thing i would do to it would be upgrade the ram.
PS: You shouldn't be sad cuz it's not a 7900 GTX.. I have the 256MB version of the 7900GS on my new lappy, and I still haven't had to lower res or details to have playable framerates.. It still ownz -
Thanks Th3R1pp3r. One more thing though, this has the 512 version of the GS. So I'm guessing it will live up to it's name. 2GB of ram is a must for me.
Does the Toshiba P100-222 have 7900gtx or 7900gs?
