    Yes it is. The 9600M GT is an MXM graphics card.

    It's either type II or III. Not too sure about it though. There should be someone else who knows more about it.

    HP never had an MXM type card in its entire product range. If you want MXM type cards go for Alienware, Sager or Acer. If you are owning an HP laptop, you can never upgrade your graphic card except when you get the chance to configure it before buying. For the current HDX series and the dv series, the 9600M GT is the highest you can go.
