    I'm not sure, he may need to modify it,

    But i'm not accurate, is the gx700 based on the 1722 chasis?

    I'm hoping someone else posts to save the day! lmao.

    I would say its not compatible, msi never released any other gpus besides the 8600m gt for that model. So I would think its limited to mxm II cards.

    GX700 looks like is based on previous chasis of MS-1722, I don't know what it is. It looks very much like MS-1722ID1. At Notebookcheck is written that it uses 8600M GT because of heating issues. If somebody have disassembly guide for this one ... so we can see is there a place for MXM 2.1 Type III card?!?
    Or maybe the buyer can see that? After he is going to buy it he should be able to do that :)
