    i currently have a sony sz320cp with a nvidia7400 128mb graphics card, but i'm planning to pull a nvidia7400 with 335mb from a sony sz460 and would like to install it in my 320. i'm assuming this is possible, but i've never done this before and would like suggestions/tips on how to prevent any damage to the laptops, and maybe a guide on the actual process. thanks

    You should check out the sticky in the gpu section of this forum. This question is asked every day, and there is but 1 answer...which can be found in the aforementioned sticky...

    I was under the impression that the Go7400 only came in 64mb and 128mb flavors. Even with TurboCache, I thought the max was 256mb.

    Where do people get the silly idea that Graphics cards can be upgrade and why do they keep asking it even though there is a sticky say NO.

    it's the same card. just upgrade your bios to the newest to utilize the 355mb on your 7400.
