Hi,

 

There is no real prospect of being able to upgrade your graphics card.  In laptops, although the word 'Card' is used, in reality they are physically soldered to the Motherboard.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best wishes,

 

DP-K

On the HDX9000 you can upgrade the graphics card...It comes with MXM slot, so you can add ATI or Nvidia Graphics card on it...

Info to remove graphics card is available in the services and maintenance guide... Available on this link... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01279508.pdf, pg 82
