Hi, Dave:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your dv6.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02745432.pdf

 

Supported Intel motherboards can be found in chapter 3, page 23.

 

Since your PC has a dual core processor, the best video adapter/memory combo would be this board:

 

For use only with computer models equipped with a dual core processor, the Intel HD6770 graphics subsystem, and 2048-MB of discrete memory. HP part # 650800-001.

 

You're looking at almost $600 just for the motherboard.

Hi, gojmgo:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295820.pdf

 

The parts info for system boards can be found in Chapter 3 on pages 23 and 24.

 

You would need to know what board you need based on what hardware is in your PC.

 

Also there is an separate audio board.

Please look at my post above my last one.

 

I addressed them separately. I posted another link to the dv2xxx service manual for the other forum member who interceded.

 

Here is the link again, just to make sure.

Hi:

 

You are at the top of the mark with the HD6770 GPU.

 

If you live in the USA, this is where I get my memory online...

I'd go with Patriot, GSkill, Corsair or Crucial (whicheiver is cheaper and has the best reviews).
