    I was customizing a notebook on the sony vaio site. I noticed that it didnt tell me which video card comes with the system or even give me the option to change it. Any ideas?

    Link?
    I don't think you have the option to change the video card with most sonys because most are sold "over the counter" ;)

    It should say though..

    Which series? I don't think Sony has any video card options. Most of their notebooks use integrated Intel graphics except for the SZ line that currently have a 8400GS and integrated Intel combo.

    Maybe some FZ have nvidia, but not all of them. My friend's brand new FZ445 uses integrated graphics. From Sony's web site specs:
