    Hello,
    I have notebook with GeForce Go 6100 ( Acer Aspire 7003)

    And I have Asus F3TC-AP049 with GeForce Go 7300.

    Is it possible to swap (switch) them?

    Acer Aspire 7003 is from 7000/9300 series (9300 have Go 7300). Swapping of CPU (Sempron x Turion X2) should be without problems but I'm not sure with GPU.

    Thank you for any advice.

    No you cant upgrade a laptop graphic card since they are soldered to the motherboard

    it isn't even just soldered to the motherboard, it is literally integrated into the motherboard.

    custom fit.

    so no, you can't just swap them, even if you had solder talent.
