Hi:

 

Only if there is a HP 2000 motherboard listed in the service manual for your notebook that has better graphics.

 

Then be prepared to pay as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics, to upgrade the motherboard in yours.

Wow, as far as they have come with laptops and the ability to upgrade them is still non exsistant. I don't know who is the bigger fool. Me for buying a non-upgradable computer or the idoits that still make them. 

Anyway, thanks for your help. lesson learned

You're very welcome.

 

I do not believe you will find any brand consumer notebook on the market where you can just swap out a graphics card.

 

Maybe a $2,000 - $3,000 business workstation, but not on any mainstream business or consumer notebook in the several hundred to $1,500 dollar range.

 

With that in mind, you many want to carefully research your next notebook purchase, and make sure that you will be satisfied with its graphics capabilities for years to come.
