    I'm looking to buy a notebook and was very interested in the HP Pavilion ZD7140us, this looks like a powerhouse. I'd use it primarily for video editing but would also like to do some gaming on the side, so it'd be a desktop replacement (and i LOVE the mobility and 17" widescreen).

    I would like this baby to last me at least 4 years, and the only weakness is the graphics card which is Geforce FX 5600 Go 64mb, does this laptop support an upgrade? I'd like a GF6 Go when they come out [ :D]

    If not, would this card last 3-4 years playing the new dx9 games that come out, in a respectable detail setting?

    If you could upgrade the video, it would be very difficult and that video card right not would no way run future games at even the lowest settings.
