    are you sure there is a slot? i believe the radeon 200M uses PCX and since it's integrated i dont believe you can add anything.

    It's supposed to replace the current standard (PCMCIA), pretty much all cards will move to the new standard sometime soon...(It's supposed to be much faster)

    P.S.-This is from Hp:

    ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M with 128MB dedicated video memory delivers great image qualities for crisp, sharper 3D action video and brings graphic-intensive applications to life. This graphics solution increases performance to handle the heavy graphics from games, the Internet and graphically intensive applications. Hypermemory(TM) technology builds on the bandwidth of system memory and ATI software to deliver performance for mobile graphics using lower amounts of local graphics memory. Additional features include an IEEE 1394 port, 6-in-1 Media Reader and an ExpressCard/54 slot.

    the 200M is PCIe and has four x4 slots and one x16, although it is brand new, so it is likely that add-in cards wont become available for another 6 months or so.

    I would guess so, otherwise I don't believe the GPU would be designed like it is-like I said before though, it is brand new so EVERYONE on here seems to be skeptical of its potential, but I believe it is geared completely for expansion. That is the general purpose of pci-e, to be able to expand to cater to what the user wants to modify.

    The cards will do what current PCMCIA cards do, just faster. There are none on the market yet and very few machines have these slots at this point, of course they all will in a year or so however.
