    Will I be Able to upgrade graphics card on new dv8000t?

    My dv8000t is in transit. When I configured it, it only had one graphics option...

    128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400

    Can i upgrade this graphics card? I want the very best card out there. Any suggestions?

    Here is my current setup...

    - HP Pavilion dv8000t CTO NB
    - Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Media Center Edition
    - Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor T2500 (2.0 GHz)
    - 17.0" WXGA+ Ultra BrightView Widescreen (1440x900)
    - 128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400
    - 2.0GB DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024MB)
    - 100 GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
    - LightScribe 8x DVD+/-RW&CD-RW Combo w/Double Layer
    - Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network w/Bluetooth
    - HP ExpressCard Analog TV Tuner w/remote control
    - Extra 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

    I see now that they offer 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400 and I am pissed off!

    Please help!

    Does anyone know if HP is using MXM on the dv8000t graphics card?

    Has anyone upgraded an MXM graphics card on their laptop?
