    Hello everyone.. I just purchased my dv7t from Hhgregg the other day.. I have the Intel T5800 2.0ghz, Vista premium 64bit, 4gigs of ram, 320hd 5400rpm, and the crappyish Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD...

    I am wondering.. what all can I upgrade? and hopefully I can upgrade the video chip?

    Video card will not be upgradable 100%.

    You can up the Processor(WILL VOID WARRANTY) / HD no point in upping the ram.

    Well technically it will " Void " your warrenty but if you do a good enough job putting it back together hp wont know you took it apart. I have sent my dv6500t in before which i have messed with. Also if you wait for motherboards to show up on ebay then swap it with your current one.
