    Newbie---Forgive for this question if it's too basic but,

    Can I replace a graphics card in my laptop? I have an hp dv9260nr with a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 card. I was hoping to upgrade to the 8600 card.
    thanks.

    Nope, it is permanently soldered to the system board.

    No, like he said--but you could get an external card

    I was unaware that such a device exists. What interface does it use (any links)?

    The only device that exists is the phantom ware XG station that no one has ever actually gotten.

    Please read the stickies before you post. It's fine that you ask questions and we encourage that but we have the stickies there so basic/often-asked questions can be answered immediately without creating a new thread.
