    Hello

    I've just bought Aspire 7720. I got Ati HD 2300 (256mb) in it. Is it upgradeable? I read everywhere that everyone upgrades 8400GS, but not the ATI one. It's on MXM-II slot, but Im wondering if it's possible to replace it to 9600M GT like people doing it with 8400GS. Need fast answer. Thanks

    Because this is a community forum, we have not tested many cards, also if a model comes with a card we might expect you to know that already since this is some pretty deep stuff you are looking into.

    I would also suggest that the HD4650 might be compatable though some machines need copper shims to reduce the gap between the core and heatsink with that card.
