    Can I upgrade Vostro 1500's graphic card to something higher than 8600M GT?
    Because its graphic card is removable :(

    The only upgrade was the 8600M GT. I inquired to my friend about using a higher end Precision Quadro card as it is the same proprietary slot design but the TDP levels rise significantly (20 watt to 65 watt) so you might burn out the motherboard. Also cooling would be an issue (Precision cards have a dedicated heatsink/fan seperate from the CPU fan/heatsink).
