    I have a sony vaio computer. Right now it has the Nvidia GeForce Go 7400. I want to upgrade as much as I can. I know that they offer the 7600 in this computer but I was wondering if I can go bigger. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You probably cannot upgrade it anyways.

    Its probably soldered onto the motherboard and if it isnt finding a replacement card will prove difficult and expensive.

    Best to contact Sony and see, but usually its soldered onto the motherboard, so you need to buy a new motherboard or a new computer itself.

    However, it may not be the case and that notebook may have proprietary graphics where it can be removable.
