Ice-Tea Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi there, I know of no other sources that sell MXM cards as such. Both Eurocom and Dell don't use MXM, they use proprietary formats. Ice-Tea MXM-Upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 These prices are ridiculous :) Times will change where one is able to buy non-overprized compatible hardware upgrades for Laptops and the first step is mxm-upgrade.com ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my notebook I bought it because the graphic card was upgradable. I going to complain to the autorities, I want my money back.

Ice-Tea Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi guest, One off the reasons there are very few upgrade MXM's for sale is because there are no better cards available. Only now do we start to see x1600,7600 and x1800 trickle through. Not much point in upgrading a 6600 to a 6600, now is there? Stay tuned, the new gen cards have been announced and will be available. Through MXM Upgrade for sure, and through other channels too maybe. Ice-Tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__-_-_-__ Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I'm the guest upward. So how can I known if a notebook can be upgradable? I known some cases where the mxm graphic card is soldered to the mainboard :S There are also some power consumption issues... Can some one tell me if I can upgrade a asus z81sp and a alienware area-51 m5700 to a geforce go 7800gtx? and where can I find a cheap geforce go 7800gtx to buy?

Not sure if it will be a gtx, but a 7800 should be in the books one day. I don't hve them yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__-_-_-__ Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 so how can I known if a notebook can be upgraded to a geforce go 7800 gtx? it's a kind of stupid... they say it has mxm III so if geforce go 7800 gtx is mxm III.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice-Tea Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 so how can I known if a notebook can be upgraded to a geforce go 7800 gtx? it's a kind of stupid... they say it has mxm III so if geforce go 7800 gtx is mxm III.... Try it :) Seriously, there's really no way of telling. Theoretically, it should be OK. But if the manufacturers buildl their notebook with zero thermal and power overhead and the 7800 GTX consumes a bit more, you'll loose performance. Trial and error. Time will tell. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__-_-_-__ Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 ok, I'm gonna buy a new notebook with mxm III and I will ask the vendor if I can upgrade the notebook to a geforce go 7800gtx. He will say I can because it has mxm III. If I cannot upgrade it because of the hermal and power overhead I will complain to the autorities to have my money back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
