Can I replace my mobile 6200 Turbo cache for go 6800 and where can I get one?

[Rimmer]

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Sony Vaio VGN-FS195XP Pentium Mobile 740 1.73 GHz Laptop.
It has a 6200 TurboCache GFX installed which I presume is a MXM module..according to PCMAG

An extract from the article reads "At this year's CES in Las Vegas, nVidia announced its discrete GeForce Go 6200 graphics solution which supports the 915 Express chipset and incorporates the nVidia MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module) technology. With MXM, graphics come in the form of a detachable module, allowing vendors to configure notebooks quickly with faster and better graphics as they become available. The GPU will be available in the Sony VAIO FS and S Series notebooks.

Therefore I would like to change it to a Go6800 range maybe an ultra.
Does anyone know if this is possible and where can I purchase the GFX card from?
Some may say I should of bought the Dell laptop with card already in but it wasn't my cup of tea

Cheers

Hi Rimmer,

Nope I don't think it's possible as it's soldered onto the board - the technology is available to change graphics cards but it's so expensive that not many people are doing it.

Thanks Kee-Lo,

From what I have read I thought it was a connector similar to that of PCI-Express gfx cards. Obviously not a slot just a connector allowing different GFX MXM modules to be fitted, like shown HERE

Is it definately soldered to mobo?

I mod PC's for one of the biggest UK online PC retailers and they have told me if I can check if its an MXM module and replaceable, they will see if they can source me one from Nvidia.

Thanks

Hi Rimmer,

Really? Nice, that must be fun modding for a living...

These PCIE type GFX cards are quite new though, and Sony haven't moved on to using them yet (you'd think they would the price of the laptops these days!)
