    I do not think the GPUs in HPs are generally upgradable. They might be permanently mated to the motherboard. I know for a fact that HP does not support it.

    Why don't you? It seems like it would make people more faithful to HP if you guys did upgrades.

    GPU cooling (100°C->75°C)* Inspiron 8600 * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo (337/242 -> 400/300) * 2x256 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * Aquamark 3: 24058 * 3DMark'03: 3404 * 3DMark'01 SE: 13120
