    sorry if i'm asking something in the wrong area or not appropriate...first time message 'boarding'...

    a) i just bought an hp dv6627ca pavillion laptop. Specs where i bought it (future shop) and the HP website say it should have a geForce 7150M graphics card... but under device manager it says - NVIDIA MCP67M

    havent found much info anywhere to tell me if they are the same thing or not... are they?
    wondering if it has the wrong card in it? cuz from what i can tell the 7150M isn't much as it is...

    b) on that note...can laptop videocards be upgraded/changed?

    extra info: laptop is purchased in canada. hp hardware guy didnt have a clue.

    joe

    a) yes, same thing.
    b) not upgradable when it's onboard.

    You can run download and run GPU-Z to get more info.
