Hi members, I will be re-birthing a Toshiba P105-S9337 that has a buggered video card. The original card is Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS 256mb and I am aware that I can upgrade to a Nvidia G71M-U, 512MB VRAM but I was wondering if any later 512mb Nvidia cards are also compatible as the G71's are fairly rare.

Probable system set up will be windows 7 ultimate 64bit, 4G ram (DDR2-800 - 800Mhz - PC2-6400 • CL6 • Dual Rank • Non-ECC • Unbuffered • 1.8V • 16-chip 128M x8) and a hybrid SSD.

Aim of the project is a standalone music video player and doubtful it will be used for internet or gaming.

Thanks in advance for any input for VGA advice :)

I doubt you'll have much luck with that.

Also, it doesn't seem worth spending additional moneys on top of the GPU (if you can find one) for other parts and possibly a new copy of Windows.

For your purposes a tablet might not be a bad idea, or refurbished laptop, or cheap Chromebook.

Possibly a media player like a ROKU even though video codec/container formats are limited (and small computer monitor if this isn't attached to a TV).

My WD media player was awesome (full codec support) until it broke and I found out they make nothing any more. My current plan is to get an inexpensive media box (no screen) with Intel x86 SoC and put on KODI LINUX v17.
