    I've heard on notebookforums.com that the dedicated video chip in the 6000d, the ATI Radeon X300, is a budget GPU unsuitable for gaming, but that it uses the PCI Express standard.

    Does that mean its possible to just pull out the video card and replace it with something like the one found here?

    If so, how hard would it be to upgrade it?

    No, you can not upgrade to that video card. That card is designed for a desktop PC, not a laptop. Also, I do not think the Dell 6000d is upgradeable when it comes to the graphics card.
