    Just ordered a 1420 with the 8400 gs wondering if i could upgrade to the 8400 gt or would it be able to take a 8600?

    It depends on what other graphics card Dell offers for the notebook. If they offer any more dedicated graphics cards, then they could possibly support an upgrade, provided the notebook uses a modular type graphics card, like onm the previous range of notebooks.
