    Hi all,
    I've owned an HP 6910p for nearly 3 years and it's been working like a champ, no complains at all. Brief specs include T7500 2.2Ghz, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, and ATI Mobility Radeo X2300 128MB discrete. This lappy served me well for everyday computing but recently I wanna get more entertainment out of this computer with Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 game and also some DVD playback on my LCD TV as well. However, the current graphic card is less than capable of doing those tasks and also absent of HDMI port for the LCD. So is it possible for me to upgrade the graphic card alone to some sort of 512MB dedicated at least? I've searched through the forum and those posts were really outdated so please help me guys. Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately notebooks really can't be upgraded. My recommendation would be to get one of the new 8440p/w models or if you don't like 16:9 screens to get a refurbished 6930p.

    6910p has an expresscard slot. Could do a 768MB NVidia GTX460 desktop video card to an external LCD for ~US$300. See DIY ViDock.
