...where he mentions that the Asus Z71A IS NOT mxm compatible. However, he also notes above the picture of the Asus Z71V, that it IS mxm compatible. (note the difference between the 'A' model and the 'Z' model).

The Nvidia Geforce Go 6600 is an mxm type II card. Apparently (correct me if I'm wrong) the Nividia Geforce Go 7600 is also mxm type II. I'm thinking about upgrading to it.

1) Is it possible for me to upgrade to the Nvidia Go 7600?

2)If so, is it worth it?

3)Are there any other graphics cards that I may be able to upgrade to?

Thanks,

-Allen

Find me a MXM card available for purchase and I shall give you an answer. :P

PS. Ok that's a mean answer.

I still don't think you can availably get them (unless you can prove me wrong by finding some). But if you could and the price was right, I would recommend upgrading

Well, they sell them here:

However, one of the posters on their forum pages doesn't think the asus z71v is mxm... but then I've read otherwise from different places.

I think I'll eventually try to get a 7600 if I can. I searched for an image of the Go 7600 and it looks identical to the 6600.
