    Was wondering if you can change out the video card in this laptop...and how?

    Currently has the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600...

    you can't, in general laptops are built as is.. with only the CPU, HD, and RAM being configurable (and to some extent, optical drive, bluetooth and wifi)

    There is no way, unless you get the 9700 Mobo(I think?) which isn't worth it, since its hard to find and costly.

    No ASUS, nor pretty much all laptops can have their video cards upgraded freely.

    If it has the Radeon 9600, it's the M6BN (not the M6BNe, which has a Radeon 9700)

    And sorry, you can't upgrade the graphics chip... I believe it's soldered onto the motherboard.
