    I'm running xp pro and may upgrade to vista business. I ran MS vista upgrade advisor.
    It recommeded I upgrade the video card (now ATI Mobility Radeon 7500). Is it possible in a notebook? Any recommendations?
    Thanks in advance...

    No, you cannot upgrade the notebook graphics card. It is only possible in a very very low number of notebooks, and they are often large 17" notebooks.

    Unless Microsoft has an idea how to... there's no other way.

    So, your video card will run only Vista Basic Interface but not the full Aero Glass UI if that's really so important...
