    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T-42. Can I upgrade the video card to a GeForce 9500 GT?

    Nope, and that is the answer for 99% of laptops.

    Please read the stickes before posting. If you still belive that you can upgrade your notebook's GPU, post in this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=86864.

    If you want to discuss/ask questions about the DIY Vidock(Notebook Graphics Extender), do it in the linked thread in Moral's post. Make sure to read the limitations/extra hardware needed before going that route.
