    If i get the vostro 1710 from dell. Can't I just pull the 8600M GS card and upgrade to the 8600M GT or higher video card. I don't think the are welded on the motherboard?

    Has anyone even tried this? Asking cause I saw on ebay that the are selling the 8600M GS and 8600M GT for laptops and was wondering.

    You cannot upgrade the GPU on the Vostro 1710; you are thinking of the Vostro 1700.

    Yes, it is impossible though even Dell Tech Support have been known to mistakenly say it can be done which may be why people think it is possible.
