    Hi guys, I'm currently upgrading my alienware's geforce gtx260m to a 460m.
    My friend is interested to purchase my gtx260m to upgrade his Toshiba Satelite A300's ati HD3650.

    My question is, is my gtx260m a compatible replacement for his HD3650?

    Thanks in advance :D

    No. I have personally opened up my A300, and the video card is actually a completely different shape to any standard MXM module. It has curved bits, and a completely foreign design. MXM based cards are always square or triangle in shape.

    So, no, and upgrade is not possible for this machine.
