    Hello everyone. I have recently purchased the 6500t with 8400 gs graphics card. I was wondering if I could upgrade to the 8600 gs nvidia graphics card. I have seen some people say you can and some say you cannot change graphics cards in laptops. I am not really sure how it works, and if it is possible and to what extent do you have to go to change it. Thank you

    You cannot...it is soldered directly unto the motherboard. None of HP's consumer laptops have modular graphics card.
