    baywolf says I can upgrade this notebook to an ATI Mobility 9000, 9M or a GeForce4GO 64mb. But, two people have told me I have integrated graphics for this laptop. Can I upgrade the graphics from the 8mb Geforce that is original?
    Thanks.

    The upgrade, if possible, really would not be worth it. No amount of upgrading could get it to play newer games or use newer graphics features.

    Yes, I know. I'm not into games. I need it for a low-resource operation using Silo3d and GSculpt and for viewing ebooks, video tutes.

    The site above says I can upgrade (in addition to baywolf.com).
