Adding or Replacing a video card to an HP Pavilion DV9700Z notebook?

I recently purchased a new notebook, HP Pavilion dv9700z, and was wondering if it is possible to add/replace the video card.



The current video card is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit). I have 2GB of RAM. If you need any further specs just ask.|||I am sorry to say that replacing that card would cost as much as a new laptop. What you have at the moment is an IGP (intergrated graphics processor) this is where the GFX card is strapped to the motherboard and uses local RAM for its memory. Laptop cards are very very hard to find compatibilty correctness between them, so i would recommend that next time you go for a good GFX card in a laptop like a

8400GS, 8400GT, 8600GS, 8600GT or

HD2300, HD2400, HD2400XT, HD2600, HD2600XT. The higher the number the more advanced and powerful the Graphics.



So i am sorry but it is near impossible to change a UMA IGP into a discrete graphics card with its own memory.|||you can not replace the video card on a laptop due to it is built in to the board
