    Hi all, I hope I am in the right thread so here goes.
    What if any is the difference in the 6920g motherboards that some have a ATI Radeon card and some have Nvidia Geforce? Is it possible to use any of the two cards, or do they have some difference like chipset where only one card matches up?
    I've been looking around the net but to no avail.
    Thank you in advance, Dee.

    The correct forum would be the Acer subforum. Ask a mod to move this thread over. As for the GPUs, the motherboards are the same AFAIK. There is a dedicated thread for upgrading your GPU in the Acer subforum, check that out and click on the users who have done the upgrade and posted their experiences.

    Hold on, the Acer Aspire 6920G has an upgradeable video card?

    Acer used to use MXM in their older models.
