    I was looking to purchase a Satellite A500-ST6647 from Best Buy, but the model they sell come only with the Nvideo Geforce 512mb graphics card.



    If i buy it, am I going to be able to upgrade myself to the Nvidea GeForce GT 330M 1GB card that is optional on the toshiba website?





    Thanks,
    Peter C.

    Don't know. Probably not possible.

    Try to get a notebook with an MXM 3.0b slot if you want to upgrade the GPU.
