    On their site it says built in HD2600, built in means the answer to your question is no. Link. Have you considered a DeLL Vostro 1500 with T8100 C2D @2.1Ghz,8600m GT,160GB HDD, 2.0 MP web cam, 2GB RAM and Vista Premium for the same price. It will have a much faster CPU and better GPU, better web cam and battery life would likely be better also.

    They also say that the c90s has a built-in 8600m gt... The c90s use mxm.

    I had the same question, looked up. Yes since 2006, wide scale production since 2007 I believe. It is not DDR4 but GDDR4.
