    sorry, but as far as i know, the best you might be able to get to is the 9600 pro turbo, and i'm sure if you know how to overclock, you probably you're not gonna get them new exchangable MXM's n Axoim's which are pci e because you have agp. you may be able to get a 9700, but i doubt it because the 9700 has DVI outputs and the 9600 doesnt, so i would think the 9600 pro turbo is the highest you'll get.

    Give it up. The only way to 'upgrade' the graphics in most laptops is to e-Bay the one you have and make a down payment on the 'new and improved model'.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?

    Diesel,

    you cannot 'upgrade' the GPU on the 68XX model of Emac Notebooks, as they are literally fused to the Mobo...

    stop trying...

    olyteddy is right, the only way to upgrade it is to get a new notebook

    Seriously, the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 O/C'ed is a great card, and supports many currently new games.
