nVidia 6600 Go upgrade question

Postby DeusEx » Wed Nov 15, 2006 11:36 pm

i have the nvidia 6600 go 128 mb video card in my asus z71v laptop (like indicated in the sig :| ). anyway, i remember a while ago it was said that upgrades might come out and i might be able to put in a better card into the laptop. i wasnt paying attention to technology lately so i dont know if i missed anything. did anything come out? can i upgrade? id like to have better graphics but i dont want to buy a new computer just for that...

ANY insight will be appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: No one knows? :(

Uhm, well I'm no laptop guru either Nvidia has a whole line of 7xxx GO series cards for laptops. I'm not sure what the requirements to run them are and the exact specs of your system but I'm sure you can probably use in the series. Do some checking on Nvidia site for starters.
Intel i7 920 || OCZ Gold PC3 12800 3 x 2GB || Corsair 1000HX PSU
Asus P6T Deluxe || Vista 64 bit || XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 700MHz Black Edition || OCZ Apex SSD
Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 || CM ATCS 840 || SB X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty

The main things you have to worry about are heat and affect on battery life. You have to find out what kind of MXM you have. According to this site there are three different sizes of MXMs. You don't want to buy the wrong type...that would suck. The same site shows that there are several different physical designs with MXM, so you have to find one that has the right interface size AND fits around the rest of your laptop innards.

Try MXM-Upgrade, they probably could help you more than I can...back to my International Politics reading :(
