    Hi all I'm a newbie and I'm hoping to be an active participater here. I have a brand new dv8339us and I'm not 100% satisfied with the gpu(Go 7600) . Does anyone know of a way I can upgrade it (yes I read the sticky). I've heard that laptops with MXM can upgrade their gpu and I was just wondering if this one has MXM. Thanks for the help. :)

    It's not MXM, sorry. You wouldn't find MXM in a mainstream notebook like an HP/Dell because they do not want you fiddling around with the insides of your machine.

    Well it's a great mobile GPU, but don't let what I said about me being 100% satisfied keep you from buying it. I just have very high expectations and it didn't quite meet them. It's waay better than my integrated Geforce 2 though lol. :p

    there are only a handful of cards that are capable of beating that graphics card. what are you trying to do that is so disappointing? if you post, we might be able to help you get some better performance.

    that card is a great performer for many who want to game.
