    I just bought a hp dv5020 with a ATI 128meg 200m pci express video card. I want to know if there is anyway to upgrade the video card in the notebook, i would like to get the ATI x600 from the vd8000 series. Thank you.

    Nope not possible, the graphics card is integrated onto the motherboard. Most laptops do not have upgradable GPU's. Only some newer laptops have modular graphics cards.
