    Hi, I got a Toshiba p100-114 (French model)
    which is similar to p105 but with 7600 128m as video card.
    Anybody have idea on how can I replace my 7600 to 7900?
    7600 128m ver is ugly (only got 5k for 3dmark03).
    lot of thanks.

    Notebook GPUs can't be upgraded. Exceptions are MXM enabled notebooks, and the only MXM enabled Toshiba notebook is the P105-S921. Sorry to blow your bubble there,pal.

    Yup .zoXan. is correct there. Toshiba hasn't had any upgradeable GPU's in any of their previous notebooks, and only notebooks with AXIOM or MXM will have the possiblity to upgrade the GPU, and that's only if they come out with replacement cards. If a notebook is capable of upgrading the GPU, they will market that, as it is a big selling point. Also MXM I is only upgradeable with MXM I cards, so you cannot upgrade the MXM I card with a MXM III card or vice versa.
