    Hey just looking for a answer to the age old question of can i upgrade graphics in my laptop. I know I know its near impossible with an integrated one because the pci or something is disables on the motherboard. What I'm wondering is it possible to do so on the gateway M 1617 not through the 15 pin VGA input but possibly through the HDMI port? Is it possible at all to upgrade this unit?

    system specs:
