What Video card can I put into a Hypersonic AX6?

[Cook1]

Currently has a ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo Graphics 128MB Video RAM. Can this be upgraded to a 9700/9800?

look inside the case. if it has a agp slot the radeon is connected to(it should have 1, i dont think there is a 9600pro pci), then you can upgrade it to a 9700/9800 or any other agp card short of the archiacic agp2x/1x cards(like the rage series and TNT series from 1999/2000)

1 easy way to tell if a slot is agp is to check it's color. Pci slots are usually white and agp are usually brown.

This is a laptop...

Usually, you can't upgrade a laptops video card unless it is a modular system. Because of the constricted size of laptops, video tends to be integrated, so I would doubt that you can. You probably wouldn't see too much improvement going to an MR9700 anyway because it's just a slightly higher clocked MR9600PT.

EDIT: Missed the link...with that laptop, as with most, you cannot upgrade from the MR9600PT.

oh then i believe you are stuck with what you've got. Nvidia 6600/6800 series has a Portabale PCI-E exchangeable graphics system as well as ATi but neither company has showed too much support and the 9600pro dosent even fit under the mobile pci-e system spec. no swap for you. besides, laptops are not really fro gaming.

That's why I got mine. Course I traded my gaming rig to get it. But I figure in 3 months I can build a S754 A64 AGP system for cheap that will be able to scream in games.

I put this system together in December, so that sounds about right...you can probably get a good 939 system around X-mas for cheap.

EDIT: P.S. Where are you headed?
