is it possible to upgrade iq526 graphics ?

[rogue_leader]

i just purchased an iq526 and altho the graphics are ok i would like to see faster frames on game like world of warcraft. Can i upgrade this video card to say a a 9600m from its current 9300m ? if that is possible could i get a link to the area i would need to go to purchase this upgrade ? thanks in advance for all your solutions guys im totaly new here first time hp customer.

I think it is possible. I wouldn't do it. The graphics card is very difficult to get to and you might screw something up. Hidden underneath all of the plastic and metal is a Mobile PCI Express Module.

awsome here is the deal i love this machine its just that a 9300m cant support the native resolution playing games like world of warcraft and i know for sure a 9600 can.

second question since it can be upgraded is that somthing hp could do for a fee ?

ive been builidng machines since i was a lil boy so i know how to take apart and put back toghter machines but i think this might be a warranty voiding move so im not gonna risk it.

i do have a few techs other then me that have more experiance then me but i would still rather have hp do it for warranty purposes and all.

I'm pretty sure HP doesn't do upgrades - except at point of purchase on the HP Shopping sites. Local HP authorized service centers will probably do them, and they would be able to answer your questions about warranty.

In case you get adventuresome - There are a few support articles about replacing the more mundane compontents to help get you started...
