    Hi. As the title states, I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade the video card in this computer. I know there are issues like different plugs and heat issues, but I'm wondering if I put a somewhat decent card in like the Nvidia 9600M or 9650M, if it would be doable. Any input is appreciated.

    Sorry, but laptop graphics cards are not upgradeable. Please see the GPU Guide for more information.
