    yes, but so far cpu multiplier is not unlocked so overclocking is restricted to upping your fsb. :(

    If its anything like the X205, you are looking at a complete disassembly :(

    Personally I wouldn't pair a QX9300 with a 9700mGTS, the gpu would be the bottleneck. But it's about what you want, I was told the same thing when I installed a T9300 in my X205 and I enjoyed it very much :cool:

    I don't know how x205 is but, X300/305 is extreamly pain to change any parts of... Toshiba is dead for my, so don't think I'm going to change any parts of my laptop. But I have half way disassemblet it and, I can say that it was not easy...
