    pretty much as the title asks

    can the geforce 7400og of a hp pavilion dv8230us be upgraded?

    i just bought the laptop a few days ago, and am less then jubiliated over it's performance with oblivion and chaos theory, and almost afraid to install doom3.

    id like to put a geforce 7800gtx inside, i know many laptops cant be upgraded like this, wonder if mine can.

    thanks for your help.

    Hello, and welcome.

    If you look at both gpu, its definielty not the same, physical size. Most likey, most laptop's gpu cant be upgrade.
