    Is it true a GMA 900 has a PCI express port for a external Video Card?

    I read on Intel website that the GM 915 has a open PCI express port x16.

    What does this mean?

    does it mean I can install a geforce 8800 in my sony VAIO?

    I don't think so. That's not an expandable port.

    We've been over this many many times. No. The chipset has a port for dedicated internal GPUs, but its instead used for the integrated card. Can. Not. Be. Upgraded.
