    Is the ATI card separate?
    Could it be added to a standard model?
    Anyone have some photos of the innards of a ATI model?

    I found an old post that says no you can't add it. I would still like to see photos though.

    If you "could" ( I don't think you can on this model) it would be a MXM card. They can be white listed as well in the bios as to be blocked if the maker wants to. All of the toughbooks I have had so far with dedicated graphics except the 73 model had BGA style ATI graphics. On the 73 model I never seen another card made that way so upgrading it wouldn't of worked anyway.
