    Hey guys, I have an HP Elitebook 8460p that I got through my college - I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the processor and/or add a discrete graphic card to this system. I'm already looking into getting an SSD attached and additional ram, but still want to know if its possible for a cpu/gpu upgrade.

    Let me know if it's possible, and if so, how I can go about doing it! Thanks!

    PS - Happy Easter! :D

    You can add a discreet GPU via an eGPU but not built into the machine itself. Check the sticky in the gaming forum for more information.
