We have been telling our costumers upgrades are not possible for some time. But now we have a user upgrading his 8550 to a x1900 and so we don't know anymore.

Users who want to give the x1900 a go in their notebook, drop us a line!

Last update june 6th 2008

We have pruned the list off all Clevo based laptops, because they are Clevo proprietary card. A Toshiba model has also been omitted because Toshiba assured us they do not carry any MXM models. More on that here.

Is your laptop not on the list? Check out these tips on how to figure it out for yourself! Also, check out repair4laptop.org.They have a lot of dissasembly guides that may offer better insight on your notebook.
