    In my never ending quest to improve my X205, I would like to find and purchase a dual 8600M video card such as the one used in the SLI-6 version of the X205. Given that it's the same motherboard, case and power supply I'm fairly confident that it should be a suitable replacement for the 8700M and based on benchmark scores I am equally certain that it's an improvement. Since I can't buy and install an 8800M-GTX as that card has never been offered in a Toshiba X205 I think this is my only option for upgraded graphics capability.

    Anyone know where I can find one?

    Thanks

    It looks like they might have them at sparepartswarehouse.com if you can figure out which is the right part number, but I bet it will be expensive.

    Yeah I'm looking there now, keep getting "unhandled exception" errors from their website. I have the part number for the computer the part is in, just trying to get it to open so I can see if they have it.
