    Hi Guys

    I am new in this site but I have been reading a lot about the Toshiba X205.

    I finally ordered this laptop and already planning to upgrade the CPU
    is it possible to get a T7800 or X7800 in that motherboard ?

    Also i can't really find anything about the Video Card is MXM III / IV or just have to stuck with the 8700GT ?

    I am sure it is a great laptop if my old Gateway can run Need For Speed Pro Street and Crysis (of course in low resolution ) then this one should fly ........

    Thnx

    The video card is not xmx, but it is upgradeable (I have confirmed this already, I have a 9349 and sli1 and intrchanged the motherboards and video cards between the 2 laptops already) but it's a Toshiba proprietary interface, the cpu I am not sure I think someone tried the X7800 and smoked the motherboard, so I would be careful in trying that without getting some confirmation that it will work first.

    obviously this guy is a spammer . . . and probably had his ebay auction taken down.

    I agree.

    I'm surprised the forum moderators don't whack this sort of stuff with the ban stick? :confused:

    We were not refering to you at all, so don't worry you are ok. Chaz deleted the person and his posts, the guy we were talking about is clearly a spammer that is why he is no longer here, I hope Chaz banned him from the forum, we do not need people like him around here.

    Nah, he's right... i wasn't reffering to you at all! Some guy was linking to a dead ebay auction that was totally pointless and he was doing it everywhere... sorry for the confusion

    As a side note, good luck with you're new machine, I love mine :D Be glad to help with any questions you may have with it
