    Hello,

    Why I don't see an HP Pavilion notebook series dv6200 15.4" with nVidia GPU 7700 or 7600 with 512 dediated ram like Asus notebooks?

    Because HP isn't all that big when it gaming, right now or in the past.

    However, now that HP has purchased Voodoo, HP's new Global Gaming Unit is currently working on HP systems with higher end graphics cards, but there's no word on when HP will release them.

    I agree with you here, but they have better nVidia GPU in dv9000 and dv9200 series.

    So is it technically can't be used in series dv6200 now?

    Yes, but those notebooks also have much higher resolution screens, hence the more powerful GPU.

    So is it technically can't be used in series dv6200 now?

    Well, I'm sure it could technically be, but HP isn't doing things that way right now.

    I thought that it was due to the slim profile of the current pavilion dv models. The GeForce Go 7200 - 7400 are listed on nVidia's site as thin and light, higher performance cards are under different groups.
