    I purchased an m60 about a month ago and in my order it said it was shipped with x600 and it arrived with an x600 se. I paid for a x600 not a x600 se! I was wondering if one of my possible options could be getting an exchange on cards if they will fit. So my question is again are they exchangeable?

    I don't believe so. However, if you have ATI's AXIOM technology, then you'll be able to do so. I'm not sure if the X600 series comes with AXIOM technology however - check your user manual/specs. You will definately not be able to exchange an ATI GPU with an Nvidia GPU.

    No they are not interchangable and no you cannot upgrade your X600 card. They didn't start using AXIOM technology until the X700 card which Toshiba doesn't use in the M60. I wanted to upgrade mine also but found out that I wasn't able to.

    In addition, where did you buy your notebook? The M60 should come with the ATI X600, not the X600 SE, at least in the US.
