Laptop Video Cards

[Puterman5862]

Can anyone tell me if a laptop video card is capable of being upgraded (take out old, insert new)? I have recently purchased the HP zd7000 with 17" widescreen, P4 3.2Ghz processor,512MB RAM, and NVidia FX GO 5600 - 64MB. Can the video card be swapped?

Unfortunatley, no. There were some DELL laptop model's in the past which allowed you to pop in a new videocard (but you had to doop Dell into sending the one you wanted)
Usually upgrading laptop's are limited only to: Memory, Hard drive. (some certain exceptions to CPU and optical drive)
Your out of luck man, why not trade in the notebook and look into a IBM or a more reputable manufacturer.
