    Hey,

    I have a lenovo 3000 N200, and I was just wondering if it's possible to do a graphics card update. I'm not sure and I haven't been able to obtain information for or against it. Also other information of what can be upgraded (other than ram upgrades and Hard drive upgrades) would be great!

    Thanks for the help!

    Lenovo does not allow for a GPU swap out. Asus and ATI are working on external video upgrade solutions, but nothing internal. There are some Dell's and certain Nvidia based (MXM) graphics cards that can be upgraded. Most models are Whitebox Asus, Compal, Clevo and a few other chassis.
